However, allergic rhinitis can often be controlled very effectively, and some treatments can provide long-term improvement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1451\">Treatment usually involves identifying allergens, reducing relevant exposure, controlling nasal inflammation and choosing medication according to symptom severity. For people whose symptoms remain troublesome despite appropriate treatment, <strong data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1412\">allergen immunotherapy can provide longer-term disease modification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1664\">For persistent allergic rhinitis, intranasal corticosteroids are an important evidence-based treatment option and are recommended
