Estimations range from 5-10 % of our elderly patients who deal with seasonal allergies. Our elderly are more susceptible to the typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis (AR), due to the anatomic and physiologic changes that occur with age. These include nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip and cough. Post-nasal drip and cough can be worsened by thickened mucus along with decreased mucociliary clearance that comes with aging.
