Allergic rhinitis (hayfever) is a common problem found in the geriatric population. This problem should be aggressively treated with environmental control, prescription nasal sprays and/or antihistamines (if tolerated). Allergy immunotherapy can be a very effective treatment for the elderly, without the side effects commonly found when hayfever medication is used.
