It is essential to recognise symptoms of seasonal rhinitis as being an allergic reaction. Diagnosis should be supported by careful history-taking and confirmatory skin prick testing. Sufferers should be educated on avoidance measures and self-help where possible. Understanding of the condition leads to better treatment compliance, particularly pre-seasonally, through the season and to better management while abroad.
