Allergic Rhinitis - Overview
Achoo…God bless you!'
Do you experience frequent bouts of sneezing and an itchy, runny nose that affects 
your daily  work? If you are presenting these symptoms more than once every day, 
you are suffering from  allergic rhinitis. It is time for you to seek medical advice for 
treating your allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis, also known as nasal allergy, is not considered to be life-
threatening. However,  it can drastically affect a patient's quality of life. It has been 
documented that approximately  20% of the general population gets affected by 
allergic rhinitis. It is one of the common chronic  complaints that influence health 
in long period of time. Therefore, early therapeutic help is  necessary to avoid 
health consequences.
Homeopathy is an effective medical option that offers significant relief in patients 
affected by
allergic rhinitis. It also effectively boosts patients, immunity, which prevents them 
from getting  succumbed to allergens. Benefits of homeopathy in seasonal 
allergic rhinitis have been  documented in a double-blind study performed at 
Phoenix metropolitan area.
What is allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis or nasal allergy is described as a condition which is characterised 
by  inflammation of the nasal passages that causes a combination of symptoms 
such as sneezing,  nasal itching, nasal congestion, and discharge from the nose. In 
a nutshell, in this condition,  when you come in contact with any potential allergen, 
it makes you sneeze, develop an itchy  and runny nose, and watery eyes. Exposure 
to dust, dander, certain seasonal pollens, etc.,  mainly precipitates allergic rhinitis 
in sensitive individuals.
It can affect people of all age groups. However, two-third of all patients mostly 
report this  ailment before the age of 30. It is not commonly reported in elderly 
patients. It affects both  males and females equally; but boys are more affected 
than girls among children.
Allergic Rhinitis - Types
Mainly, allergic rhinitis or nasal allergy is classified into two categories; viz., 
seasonal and  perennial allergic rhinitis.
Seasonal allergic rhinitis: In this, a person is affected by allergy episodes 
during certain  seasons, especially during pollen season.
Perennial allergic rhinitis: In this, a person experiences allergy episodes 
intermittently  throughout the year.
Each year, patients shed huge amounts of money for doctor's consultation and 
medication to  treat this chronic ailment. It largely affects an individual's quality 
of life, where they  experience missed days at work and school along with 
impaired performance. Early and  judicious treatment can save money and offer 
significant relief from this distressing condition.

Allergic Rhinitis - Causes
Several allergens (substances inducing allergy in the body) are responsible for 
troublesome  episodes of allergic rhinitis. Common causes include:
● Pollen
● Dust
● Outdoor moulds
● House dust mites
● Wood dust
● Exposure to certain animals (including pets)
● Cockroaches
● Rodents
● Irritants such as smoke, pollution, and strong smells.
Allergic Rhinitis - Symptoms
It all starts with a runny nose and constant sneezing!
A person with allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) may experience one or a 
combination of the  following symptoms:
● Constant Sneezing
● Runny nose (rhinorrhoea)
● Nasal congestion
● Itchy nose, ear, throat, eyes
● Watery eyes
● Reduced sense of smell
● Post-nasal discharge
Allergic Rhinitis - Diagnosis
Also, some skin tests can help diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, which 
includes:
● Skin prick test: This test uses a small amount of purified allergen 
extract that  is pricked into the skin of your arm and then it is 
observed for any signs of an  allergic reaction. Positive test for this 
test would be a raised bump at the  tested site that will confirm 
your allergy to the injected substance.
● Intradermal tests: In this test, the allergen extract is injected 
between layers of  the skin and observed for allergic reaction on the 
tested site.
