Nonallergic rhinitis in children is a medical condition that has not been well defined and the true incidence is unknown. Current treatment recommendations are based on data obtained from adult studies. The mechanisms of pediatric nonallergic rhinitis are also unclear. The concept that laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) events may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of upper airway disease is presently under investigation. Although LPR is being better delineated and appropriate methods of diagnosis and treatment are being studied, substantial evidence links LPR with several disease states including rhinitis, sinus disease, and middle ear disease. Due to the lack of information concerning the etiology of nonallergic rhinitis in children, LPR should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child with negative skin tests and chronic rhinitis symptoms. The clinician should especially give attention to this diagnosis when a child presents with recurrent co-morbid conditions such as chronic sinusitis or persistent middle ear disease.
