Protective factors
For prevention of Allergic rhinitis, general allergen and pollution avoidance are recommended when possible.
Nasal filters and blockers act as nasal mucosal barriers and can be a useful alternative for some individuals.
Circulating air when indoors is important, as indoor air pollutants can be reduced by improving outdoor and indoor air exchange.
Multiple studies have shown that exposure to clean air helps decrease the prevalence of Allergic rhinitis in children. The protective influence of vegetation (greenness) is heavily associated with air pollution mitigation.
Another prevention method that has become more popular recently is shifting from private motorized transport to public transport, cycling, or walking to help reduce greenhouse gases.
A variety of treatment options for Allergic rhinitis symptoms exist. The most commonly used pharmacotherapy for Allergic rhinitis is oral antihistamines.
