Allergic rhinitis accompanied by asthma can be managed under a physician’s guidance with antihistamine medications—such as cetirizine tablets or loratadine tablets—to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, physicians may prescribe ephedrine nasal drops to effectively reduce sinus mucosal edema. If asthma symptoms are severe, terbutaline inhalers should be used under medical supervision to improve the condition and prevent disease progression.
