Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA)

Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, occurs when the immune system reacts to allergens like pollen or dust, causing symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. The ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) guidelines recognize that allergic rhinitis can worsen asthma symptoms. When allergies lead to nasal congestion and inflammation, it can make asthma management more challenging, potentially increasing the frequency of asthma attacks. Effective treatment of allergic rhinitis is important to improve overall asthma control and enhance the quality of life for those affected.
