Do a lot of people get allergic rhinitis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: About 20% of the population have some level of allergic rhinitis; many can be self-treated with occasional over-the-counter medications, some need to be treated by their primary care doctor, and at least 20% of those are so allergic that they should see an allergist.
