Seasonal allergic rhinitis in children is not always easy to identify because its symptoms are similar to other childhood infections.[1] Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that affects 10–25% of the population and is divided into seasonal and year-round forms.[1] Seasonal allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease affecting 6–10% of the population and is triggered by the seasonal occurrence of pollen.[1] Symptoms include sneezing fits, watery discharge from the nose, itching and swelling of the nasal mucosa.[1] Symptoms may develop immediately after contact with the allergen or 8–24 hours after exposure.[1] Allergic rhinitis can progress to asthma at a later stage, or both diseases can occur simultaneously, with pollen asthma occurring in about 40% of children.[1] Treatment options for allergic rhinitis are on solid ground, with the first line being intranasal corticoids, which reduce inflammation of the nasal mucosa with regular use.[6]
