This article reviews the differential diagnoses for rhinitis, medications available for the treatment of rhinitis, and special circumstances (such as pregnancy or medication side-effects) that may influence a clinician's decision. Considering the economic impact of rhinitis, the cost of prescription medications, and quality-of-life issues that are affected by rhinitis, physicians dealing with managed care organizations should make their diagnosis and treatment decisions carefully.
