As the patient approaches us for treatment of rhinitis, we differentiate the problem to diagnose it whether it is Allergic Rhinitis or NAR-Non Allergic Rhinitis. Both of these cause similar symptoms of runny or stuffy nose and sneezing but the main difference is that Allergic Rhinitis is caused by specific allergens like pollen grains, house dust mites, animal dander etc, whereas Non Allergic Rhinitis is caused by environmental irritants like cold dry air, temperature changes, strong perfumes etc. In AR there is a systemic involvement due to the immune response to a known allergen but it is not so in NAR. One is caused by allergens whereas the other is caused by environmental irritants. NAR is less likely to cause itching in eyes or throat. The most common cause of NAR is acute viral infection.
Our medicine is a combination prepared after study of thousands of AR/Asthma patients in our clinic since the last 30 years. The results obtained have been encouraging and can be seen in the following categories: (AR- Allergic Rhinitis / NAR- Non Allergic Rhinitis)
Taking care of acute symptoms of AR is the prime target of most OTC drugs and the magnitude of the problem demands strong intervention. Anti-histamines are the drug of choice for Allopathic doctors. We will also advise you to take Allopathic treatment from a chest specialist for your acute problems so that your daily activities do not get hampered.
In the event of reappearance of suppressed old skin eruptions after the start of our medicine the patient is asked to report to us for evaluating the future course of treatment. Understanding the nature of the illness of the patient is of prime importance in giving long term relief to the patient. Allergic Rhinitis is a constitutional problem and it needs to be differentiated from other forms of rhinitis like nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) or acute rhinitis. According to available studies so far apx. 50% cases of allergic rhinitis remain undiagnosed in India and therefore receive wrong treatment. Wrong diagnosis of AR can lead to decreased quality of life and increased risk of development of asthma in future. On a rough estimate 20-30% of Indian population suffers from allergic rhinitis and almost 15% develop asthma. According to International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), prevalence of AR in children in India is about 11.3% in 6-7 years and 24.4% in 13-14 years.
