Abstract:
Rhinitis and sinusitis are common medical conditions that affect the geriatric population and have a significant impact on their quality of life. Because few studies examine differences in the clinical management between the geriatric and general adult population, therapies should be based on current guidelines. Special considerations should be made when treating these patients in regards to multiple comorbidities and the potential for drug interactions from polypharmacy. Further research on the pathogenesis of sinusitis in the geriatric population may provide specific differences in the clinical management in this population.
