Seasonal allergic rhinitis is characterized by seasonal rhinorrhea, nasal congestion/stuffiness, nasal and ocular pruritus, and paroxysmal sneezing. Symptomatic relief and improved quality of life can be achieved in the majority of patients by using pharmacotherapy appropriately. Mild cases can be managed with either an oral antihistamine or a nasal corticosteroid alone. More severe cases may require a nasal corticosteroid in combination with various agents. Immunotherapy is reserved for a selected group of patients. While all other interventions provide symptomatic relief, specific immunotherapy may have long-term effects. This review article also discuss recent patents related to the field.

Allergic rhinitis affects approximately 40% of children and generally presents in children from 10-19 years of age; however, the condition has been seen in children as young as 6 months. Antihistamines are commonly prescribed in infants and children for the relief of allergic symptoms. A 23-month-old male with a history of chronic otitis media was prescribed cetirizine 2.5 mg daily at bedtime for maintenance of his chronic rhinitis symptoms. Several days into therapy, the child began experiencing frequent and progressive nighttime periods of awakening. Once treatment was discontinued, the child resumed his normal sleeping patterns.
