A link between allergic rhinitis and asthma?
While reading this article by Medical News Today today I came across an interesting statement and one that holds very true for my son: "'Allergic rhinitis has been shown to increase the risk of asthma three-fold, and investigators found that when rhinitis began in the first year of life, the development of asthma by age 6 was twice as high as when it started after the first year,' Dr. Pawankar said".
Really? 3 fold? To see my original blog post on this topic and how it effects my son click here.
According to the article, if you can get the allergic rhinitis under control, the other conditions will be better controlled also.
