Aim – to conduct analysis of modern data on the prevalence, risk factors, etiopathogenesis, features of the course, approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis in children.
Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease in children, the prevalence of which is increasing every year in developed countries around the world. Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa caused by an IgE-mediated type I hypersensitivity reaction. Heredity and environmental factors contribute to the development of allergic rhinitis in children. In turn, allergic rhinitis is a risk factor for the development of asthma and sleep disorders and insomnia and difficulty waking up and daytime sleepiness and morning headaches. Allergic rhinitis leads to the formation of sinusitis and olfactory disorders and acute otitis media and conductive hearing loss and inflammation of the pulp and periodontal disease, which must be taken into account when treating children with allergic rhinitis. In the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children, a graded approach to pharmacological therapy and non-pharmacological methods of treatment are used. Non-pharmacological measures include environmental control and elimination of allergens. According to the course of the disease, new-generation antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids, and individually selected allergen-specific immunotherapy are prescribed as medications.
Conclusions. Analysis of scientific sources shows that AR is the most common chronic disease in children, which reduces the quality of life. AR is a risk factor for the formation of asthma and the development of complications. Timely diagnosis and rational treatment of allergic rhinitis in children helps to effectively control symptoms and prevent complications and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
