Natural History, Complications, Prognosis
Natural history
Rhinitis is a very common disease, and it is sometimes mistakenly viewed as a trivial disease.[1][2] Symptoms usually resolve within 7-10 days of onset.[2] Allergic rhinitis rarely occurs in isolation, it is a product of a genetic predisposition, epigenetic events, and environmental exposures, and it is frequently associated with other forms of atopy such as eczema, asthma, and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.[3][4] Nonallergic rhinitis is also associated with asthma.[5][6] Frequent extension of rhinitis (especially infectious rhinitis) into the sinuses also occur, resulting in rhinosinusitis.[7][2] Remissions are more likely to occur in children with nonallergic rhinitis, those with allergic rhinitis tend to have a more persistent disease.[5] Remissions occur in up to 73% of four year old children with nonallergic rhinitis by the age of eight years.[5] Rhinitis is a significant cause of loss school and work days, and it constitutes a huge financial burden for the society. Untreated/poorly treated chronic rhinitis is associated with a diminished quality of life, disordered sleep, impaired work performance, and several other comorbidities.[2][3]
