• #1 Management of Rhinitis: Allergic and Non-Allergic

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3121056/

  Nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) is generally described as chronic nasal symptoms, such as obstruction and rhinorrhea that occur in relation to nonallergic, noninfectious triggers such as change in the weather, exposure to caustic odors or cigarette smoke, barometric pressure differences, etc. There is a lack of concomitant allergic disease, determined by negative skin prick test for relevant allergens and/or negative allergen-specific antibody tests. […] The mainstay of treatment for NAR are intranasal corticosteroids. Topical antihistamines have also been found to be efficacious. Topical anticholinergics such as ipratropium bromide (0.03%) nasal spray are effective in treating rhinorrhea symptoms. […] Avoidance of environmental triggers such as strong odors (perfumes, soaps, paint, etc.) and air pollutants (smoke fumes, tobacco smoke) that are respiratory irritants is recommended in those who find these worsen their rhinitis symptoms.
