This does not include the costs of the 2 million lost workdays, 3 million lost school days and 28 million days of decreased productivity from the symptoms of the disease and/or side effects of the medications used to treat them.

Subscribe now >> Allergic Rhinitis in Children As the most common allergic condition, allergic rhinitis affects people of all ages. Allergic rhinitis is generally characterized by frequent sneezing and a runny or stuffy nose sometimes accompanied by watery eyes. Certain populations, such as young children and adolescents, require special consideration for safe and effective diagnosis and treatment. Boys are twice as likely to get allergic rhinitis than girls. The median age of onset of the condition is 10 years old, meaning that equal numbers of children develop the condition before and after age 10. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis may vary greatly by region. A study in Tucson, Arizona, for example, found that 42% of children were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by the age of six. A family history of allergic rhinitis is the greatest known risk factor for the condition. Other risk factors include higher social class, male gender, breast feeding for more than one month, being the first born, having a mother with asthma and having a dog in the home.
