Hay fever or allergic rhinitis is a debilitating condition for children and young adults. Although the incidence is low in infants and young children, allergic rhinitis is much more prevalent among teenagers. It is commonly treated with over the counter, non-drowsy antihistamines, nasal sprays and allergen avoidance. The nurse has a significant role in educating children and their parents in avoidance of allergens and monitoring of their condition.
