Does Rhinitis lead to Asthma? - Campaign


The prevalence of allergic rhinitis is increasing to up to 20% in school children and 30% in teenagers. It is important to adequately diagnose and treat allergic rhinitis as this can considerably improve patients’ quality of life and decrease the risk of developing asthma or asthma exacerbations.
Never consider rhinitis as trivial!
