The relationship between allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis has been assessed in a number of observational and experimental studies.

Although there is no proof of causation, especially in the pediatric literature, an evaluation of underlying allergies is recommended at least as an initial measure of symptoms relief.
