The mean age at onset of allergic rhinitis in childhood is 10 years, and its incidence peaks between ages 13 and 19 years.[20] However, evidence indicates that the onset could be much earlier, especially for those children who are allergic to common foods, such as milk.[21] Symptoms tend to worsen during the first 2 or 3 seasons. After that time, the severity of disease usually stabilizes and then generally decreases in middle age. In about 20% of cases, symptoms disappear during childhood.[22]
