Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common childhood disease. At the same time, there is an underdiagnosis of this condition in the clinical practice and its significant impact on the life quality of the patient and his family. The article describes a modern stepwise approach in complex AR therapy in children. This approach involves the choice of drug therapy in accordance with the disease course. In this case, it is necessary, in particular, to take into account the clinically significant sensitization profile, the presence of concomitant allergic and non-allergic pathology, the patterns of the expected exposure of relevant allergens, the disease course severity, the patient’s age, response to therapy, etc. The current problems of conservative treatment are discussed. Information on the pharmacological drug groups for the AR treatment is presented: H1-antagonists, antileukotriene drugs, intranasal glucocorticosteroids. The main effects and the most common adverse events of their usage are considered. Practical issues of AR treatment tactics, relevant for pediatricians, allergists and otorhinolaryngologists, are highlighted. The prescription of drug combinations of different groups is substantiated, providing a simultaneous effect on different links of the pathogenetic process. The importance of elimination measures and allergen-specific immunotherapy is noted.
Keywords: allergic rhinitis, sensitization, H1-antagonists, leukotriene receptor antagonists, glucocorticosteroids, children.
