Allergic rhinitis and asthma

RCGP eLearning Podcast
About this episode
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are common conditions which affect a single airway and are therefore inextricably linked. In this podcast, Dr Toni Hazell and Dr Glenis Scadding discuss the links between asthma and allergic rhinitis, when to suspect that a rhinitis may be non-allergic, the importance of trigger factors and the use of immunotherapy for the treatment of allergy.

Reviewed and updated: June 2024

Financial support for the project was provided as a sponsorship from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Editorial and content decisions were made solely by the RCGP.
