The aetiology, pathophysiology and symptomatology of seasonal rhinitis are briefly presented. Symptomatic therapy with antihistamines, nasal decongestants and local and systemic corticosteroids is critically discussed. The results of a trial with Disodium cromoglycate are reported. This is shown to be a valuable drug in the symptomatic management of seasonal rhinitis. It should be tried before resorting to steroid therapy.
