Dr Jessica Tattersall, Allergist and Medical Rhinologist
According to Allergist and Medical Rhinologist, Dr Jessica Tattersall, up to 80% of asthmatic children will also have allergic rhinitis.
If left untreated this can have major consequences not only for a child’s physical health but also for their intellectual and social development.
Allergic rhinitis may not always present with the classic symptoms of runny nose and sneezing.
