  Dr. Robert Nathan, a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, adds that there's a third group of especially unlucky patients who have a combination of allergies and non-allergic rhinitis , so even after they deal with their allergies, they have a whole other set of unidentified triggers to try to get under control.
  ...
  Nathan, also a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, says he is seeing more and more non-allergic patients, not because the condition is on the rise, but because the patients are not helped by popular prescription non-sedating oral antihistamines such as Zyrtec, Allegra or Claritin.Patients with runny noses during allergy season are often given these drugs by their primary care doctors, he says, but they don't offer much relief for patients with non-allergic rhinitis.So these allergy drug "failures" are often the people who are sent to allergists.It's not until allergists do skin testing and rule out allergies that non-allergic rhinitis is diagnosed."Forty percent of patients I see are non-allergic on testing," Nathan says, but more often than not, patients with sinus symptoms assume they have allergies.
  ...
  Given the choice, Nathan says he'd take a diagnosis of allergies over non-allergic rhinitis any day."This is a condition I prefer patients not to have.If they're allergic they can avoid the triggers or have allergy shots; if it's an infection I can give them antibiotics; but if it's non-allergic rhinitis, there's no cure, just medication for symptom relief for the rest of their lives," he says.

  "Nasal allergies often affect both the nose and the eyes," said Robert Nathan, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Department of Internal Medicine, and principal investigator of a Phase III study of Veramyst.
  ...
  "With its proven efficacy in treating nasal symptoms, as well as ocular symptoms in seasonal allergy patients 12 years of age and older, Veramyst may offer appropriate allergy patients the convenience of a single once-daily treatment to relieve their nasal and eye symptoms," said Dr. Nathan.

  "The trees that are bothering people are Elms, Maples, Cottonwoods and Ash," said Dr. Nathan.
  
  Over the counter medicine or even allergy shots can relieve some of the pain."Unless we get a real cold spell or lots of snow, the pollen counts could stay high until May," said Nathan.

  "Rhinitis no, but sinusitis yes," said Dr. Robert A. Nathan, chairman of the rhinitis/sinusitis committee of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
  
  Antibiotics can make a difference when the sinus is infected, Nathan said, adding that "I"m not even sure what rhinitis is."
  
  Rhinitis is typically defined as an inflammation of the nose, generally due to an allergy, Nathan said.If an infection is responsible, it almost always is caused by a virus, against which antibiotics are ineffective, he said.On the other hand, sinus infections are usually caused by bacteria.
  
  A careful diagnosis often is needed to tell the difference between rhinitis and sinusitis, Nathan said."You need an X-ray or CT scan to confirm it," he noted.
