“…4,9 Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated subtype of chronic rhinitis that is associated with adenoidal hypertrophy, possibly through altered immunologic sensitization of the adenoids. 3,4,10,11 Several studies suggest use of nasal saline irrigation, daily topical nasal steroids, and broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment of chronic rhinitis, with additional use of anti-histamines and avoidance of allergens in patients who have allergic rhinitis. 9,12,13 Adenoidectomy has often been used as an initial surgical procedure for symptoms that are refractory to medical therapy, with resolution of symptoms as high as 88% to 98% of patients in two case series focusing on chronic rhinitis, and 69.3% of pediatric patients according to a meta-analysis examining chronic rhinosinusitis.…”
