Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

177
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Allergy Research

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects 19% of Australians, representing a significant primary care burden.
  • Emerging treatments for AR are increasingly available for primary care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a contemporary framework for AR assessment and management in primary care.
  • To define referral criteria for specialist care (ENT/Allergist/Immunologist).

Main Methods:

  • Clinical assessment based on patient history and physical examination.
  • Diagnostic investigations including serum specific IgE and skin prick testing.
  • Exclusion of radiological imaging in AR work-up.

Main Results:

  • AR diagnosis is achievable in primary care through history, examination, and specific allergy testing.
  • Management encompasses allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, immunotherapy, and interventions.
  • New biological therapies are anticipated.

Conclusions:

  • Allergic rhinitis significantly impacts quality of life and function.
  • Accurate diagnosis is possible in primary care.
  • A multi-faceted management approach is essential for AR control.
