Allergic problems often contribute to chronic sinusitis because of the constant state of inflammation and irritation in the nose. In some people these conditions may exacerbate or even cause asthma, which is inflammation within the small breathing channels of the lungs.

Patients with mild or moderate allergic rhinitis often respond well to medication. Severe cases may require further evaluation by an allergy specialist which may entail skin testing.

Patients with suspected asthma are referred for formal testing and evaluation.
