  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) presents a growing health concern with increasing prevalence.
  • Environmental factors such as airborne pollutants and indoor allergens are potential contributors to the rise in AR.
  • Allergic diseases are systemic and often manifest with multiple symptoms beyond isolated nasal issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the escalating issue of allergic rhinitis (AR).
  • To present current diagnostic and management recommendations for AR.
  • To guide nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary care settings on AR care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent clinical research.
  • Analysis of consensus guidelines and review articles.
