Abstract
Chronic rhinitis is a troublesome condition for sufferers. It is tempting to label all patients with chronic nasal symptoms as having allergic
rhinitis (AR), but many such patients have other causes of chronic rhinitis that need a specific diagnosis and management strategy. Even
when the patient fully fits the definition of AR, their condition will be best served by combining medication with ongoing patient education.
