Description

• Allergic rhinitis and asthma are chronic conditions affecting children and adults, often impairing quality of life. • Recent studies have explored the efficacy of probiotics as a potential adjunct therapy to alleviate AR symptoms, decrease asthma severity, and reduce the dependence on these conventional treatments. • Studies discovered using Embase and PubMed with key terms including probiotics, asthma, allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, children, child, and adolescent were used for this review. • These studies suggest probiotics may improve pulmonary function and AR symptoms in children with allergic rhinitis and asthma. • Further research is needed to refine dosage, strain selection, and long-term efficacy.
