Abstract
Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR/C) is a common pediatric condition. The physical, emotional, and social burden of AR/C in children highlights the need for accurate diagnosis with optimal treatment. This review provides practical information on the diagnosis and management of pediatric AR/C. Key features of the patient history and physical exam needed to diagnose seasonal and perennial AR/C are covered. Various AR/C treatment options are reviewed such as allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapies, and allergy immunotherapy (both subcutaneous injections and sublingual tablets) as well as their mode of action, side effects, and their role in guideline-recommended therapy. Practical information such as pollen calendars, management algorithms, and treatment product characteristics have also been included in this review.
