Abstract

Both allergic rhinitis (AR) and sinusitis are widespread diseases that significantly worsen the patient’s quality of life, lead to significant financial costs and are associated with a huge health burden. When treating any AS, it is necessary to follow three basic principles: address the cause of the disease; eradicate the pathogen; restore drainage of sinuses, aerate and restore CO. The efficacy and speed in the treatment of sinusitis, which arose against the background of allergic inflammation, are comparable to those in the use of oral GCS (Ib level, persuasion scale A). The H1-histamine receptor blocker and competitive histamine antagonist ebastine is one of the most effective and safe latest-generation antihistamine.
