Nasal Allergy Ayurvedic Treatment

Nasal allergy or allergic rhinitis is the most common symptom of allergy. It occurs in almost all people regardless of gender, age or race. Happening mostly due to external factors, climate changes play a very important role in allergic rhinitis. It is seen most predominant in rainy and cold seasons. In most cases, nasal allergy does not imply a life-threatening condition. But this disease or rather symptom causes a big discomfort in daily life and socialising. As some types of the common cold can be spread by droplet infection, sneezing, spitting or coughing in public may cause shame and guilt. In severe cases, the discomforts like sneezing are so evident that the person’s daily life is affected.

Патофизиология

Allergy is a hyper reaction of the body to any external factor. In nasal allergy, the site of this hyperactivity is the upper respiratory tract, mainly the nose. When the body comes into contact with an allergen, it releases histamine, which is a natural chemical that defends your body from the allergen. This chemical can cause allergic rhinitis and its symptoms, including a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. 

Диагноз

  • History taking
  • Physical examination
  • Skin prick test
  • Blood testes like ESR, TC, DC or RAST (RadioAllergoSorbent Test) 

Treatments

There are many medications and therapies to control nasal allergy and associated discomforts.

Antihistamines

They work by stopping the body from making histamine.

Some popular over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines include:

  • fexofenadine
  • diphenhydramine
  • desloratadine
  • loratadine
  • levocetirizine
  • cetirizine

Decongestants

Decongestants can be used to relieve a stuffy nose and heavy sinuses for a short period. Using them for a longer time can cause some adverse effects. Popular OTC decongestants include:

  • oxymetazoline
  • pseudoephedrine
  • phenylephrine
  • cetirizine with pseudoephedrine

Eye drops and nasal sprays

Eye drops and nasal sprays relieve itchiness and other allergy-related symptoms for a short time.

Corticosteroids

They can help with inflammation and immune responses.  Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy

Also known as allergic shots, it is used in severe allergies. It can be prescribed with medications to control the symptoms. They decrease the immune response to particular allergens over time. They do require a long-term commitment to a treatment plan. An allergy shot regimen begins with a build-up phase to let the body get used to the allergen in the shot. During the maintenance phase, it’s possible that the allergy symptoms will fade or disappear altogether. Some people can experience severe allergic reactions to an allergen in their shot. It is important after a shot to ensure that the patient doesn’t have an intense or life-threatening response to it.

Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)

SLIT involves placing a tablet containing a mixture of several allergens under the tongue. It works similarly to allergy shots but without an injection. Currently, it is effective for treating rhinitis and asthma allergies caused by grass, tree pollen, cat dander, dust mites, and ragweed. Like allergy shots, the medication is taken frequently over a period of time.

Possible side effects include itching in the mouth or ear and throat irritation. In rare cases, SLIT treatments can cause a fatal condition called anaphylaxis.

Прогноз

Nasal allergy is body nature rather than a disease with a long-term prognosis. Control of symptoms can be possible but a complete relief is not common. 

Осложнения

  • Loss of sleep due to symptoms
  • development or worsening of asthma symptoms
  • frequent ear infections
  • sinusitis or frequent bouts of headache
  • absences from school or work because of reduced productivity

Complications can also arise from antihistamine side effects. Most commonly, drowsiness can occur. Other side effects include headache, anxiety, and insomnia. In rare cases, antihistamines can cause gastrointestinal, urinary, and circulatory effects.
