Some adults with smoking mistakenly think that they have asthma. But it is not correct. They have to stop smoking . Then they can use inhalers also. Some have severe sneezing but are afraid about nasal spray.  Best treatment for allergic Rhinitis is Inhalers. Anti-inflammatory Inhalers are miracle medications for both nasal and wheezy symptoms.

Common Questions

All chest symptoms patients should have a PFT test. Air pollution is also a culprit for all Chest symptoms . Acute severe asthma is the condition in which they can die. So theses subset of patients should be very regular on their medications. They may even need oral steroids. 

Allergic Rhinitis is more prevalent than asthma . Latest study shows that correct treatment of Allergic Rhinitis will prevent future occurrence of asthma .

United Airway Disease 

Now Pulmonologists talk about asthma and Allergic Rhinitis as United airway Disease. This is because nose and Airways in the chest are not two separate  pathways . But a continuous  structure with common allergens and exacerbations.

This is the reason why treatment aimed at the beginning of the tube is good. So control of all nose symptoms by anti allergic medication is very important in any patient with nose allergic symptoms like sneezing, running of the nose ,itching of the nose and eyes and throat . This will prevent future occurance of allergy in the lower airways manifesting as Asthma .

So also correct treatment of asthma will get better control of the allergic rhinitis also.
