ALLERGIES

The best care

Most of the people soon after coming into contact with allergens, experience symptoms like sneezing, runny nose and itchiness in eyes and these are caused due to an allergic condition called allergic rhinitis. Though allergic rhinitis is not life threatening, if left untreated can lead to several complications like nasal polyps, sinusitis, middle ear infections and difficulties in sleeping and can also worsen the symptoms of Asthma. Homeopathy can be a most reliable option for people suffering from Allergic Rhinitis as it not only offers most significant relief but also improves your immunity to eliminate the risk of re-occurrence.

What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic Rhinitis also known as Hay fever is our body’s allergic response to allergens like dust mites, smoke, pollen, mold and others. Even though these allergens are not dangerous, our immune system overreacts and releases histamine. This histamine is a chemical which is meant to defend these allergens.

Types of Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis is broadly classified into two types namely seasonal and perennial.

Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis- It is a condition where people experience symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis in particular seasons especially in summer, spring and early fall. Outdoor allergens like pollen act as major risk factor for Seasonal allergic rhinitis.
Perennial Allergic Rhinitis- It is a condition where people experience symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis year round. Indoor allergens like dust mites, pet hair and others along with food allergies act as risk factors for Perennial allergic rhinitis.

Causes of Allergic Rhinitis

As discussed earlier Allergic Rhinitis is mainly caused due to oversensitive immune system. Few common allergens which trigger risk of Allergic Rhinitis include

Dust Mites
Pollen
Animal Dander

What is Sinusitis?

Sinuses are air filled cavities in bones of skull located around the nose and eyes and are commonly called as Para-nasal Sinuses. There are 4 pair of Para-nasal sinuses in human beings and are named according to the location or the bone in which they are present, they are

Frontal sinuses
Maxillary sinuses
Ethmoid sinuses
Sphenoid sinuses.

When these Sinuses are inflamed due to an infection or an allergic reaction it leads to Sinusitis. Maxillary sinuses are the most commonly effected sinuses.

What are the types of Sinusitis?

Depending upon the duration of the inflammation of sinuses they are classified into 4types.

Acute Sinusitis
Sub-Acute Sinusitis
Chronic Sinusitis
Recurrent Sinusitis.

Improperly treated Acute and Sub-Acute Sinusitis may progress to chronic Sinusitis. If Sinusitis is due to allergy, it will be generally recurrent and will come back after an exposure to allergens.

What are the causes of Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is caused by number of factors. Some are called predisposing factors and some are triggering factors.

Predisposing Factors:

These factors makes the individual more prone to get Sinusitis.

One of the most commonly seen factor is DNS (Deviated nasal septum).
Polyp or Tumors in nose
Allergy
Enlarged Adenoids and Tonsils
Dental Problems (cavities and decayed tooth etc)
Chronic exposure to smoke, dust, pollutants and other chemical substances.
Weak Immunity (due to Diseases like HIV/AIDS or those persons under Chemotherapy, or Persons using Immune-Suppressive Drugs after organ Transplantation.)

Triggering Factors:

If a person has any of the above mentioned predisposing factors, a triggering factor can stimulate the biological mechanisms that cause Sinusitis. Some of most common triggering factors are:

Infection due to a bacteria or virus, Sinusitis is most commonly caused by bacteria or a virus which cause common cold. Viruses are most common cause of acute Sinusitis where as Bacteria is the most common cause of Sub acute and Chronic Sinusitis.
Fungal Infection is not a common cause of Sinusitis, but in persons with Weak immunity or persons with compromised immune system have increased chances of having Sinusitis due to fungal infection.
Allergic reaction a person predisposed to allergies or sensitive to a allergen may have acute inflammation of Sinuses when ever exposed to allergen (substances that cause allergic reaction).
Deep Sea Diving and Scuba Diving.
Inhalation of chemical substances and irritants.

Sinusitis is rarely caused by other systemic disease such as Cystic Fibrosis, Granulomatosis etc

What are the symptoms of Sinusitis?

Symptoms of Sinus may vary according to Severity of Sinusitis and location of sinuses involved. Although all the symptoms may not be seen in the same individual, yet Symptoms play a important role in diagnosis of Sinusitis.

Runny Nose and Nasal discharge can be thick or thin and can be yellowish or greenish.
Obstructed / stuffed sensation in nose, blocked nose
Post nasal Drip (discharge from back of nose into the throat)
Headache or sensation of pressure in Head
Decreased sense of smell
Halitosis (Bad breath)
Cough with expectoration (Mucous)
Occasionally Tooth pain, Ear Pain
Sore throat or pain in region of affected sinus can be present (Cheek pain if maxillary sinus is involved, pain above eye brows if Frontal sinuses are involved)
General symptoms like Fever, Tiredness, Fatigue

How is Sinusitis Diagnosed?

Do you experience redness in whites of your eyes along with other symptoms like itchiness, pain, swollen eyelids and white colored sticky discharge from eyes, then it may be due to conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is a condition caused mainly due to allergies and infections of Conjunctiva. When this Conjunctiva or our eyes come in contact with allergens, then it leads to a condition called Allergic Conjunctivitis. Though conjunctivitis does not lead to any complications or affect the quality of your life, it can be discomforting and cause pain that can last from few days to weeks. Homeopathy for conjunctivitis works very effectively without any side effects.

What is Allergic Conjunctivitis?

Allergic conjunctivitis also referred to as Pink eyes or Red eyes is marked by inflammation of the conjunctiva which is the thin layer of cells that covers the white part of our eyes. This happens when our eyes or especially conjunctiva come in contact with allergens. As soon as our eyes come into contact with allergens, our immune system overreacts and releases Histamine which triggers inflammation by irritating the nerve endings and also increases secretion of tears. Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious.

There are basically two types of allergic conjunctivitis namely

Seasonal or acute conjunctivitis- this type is more common during allergy seasons like spring and summer and it is a short term condition.
Perennial or Chronic conjunctivitis- this type can affect people year round as a result of reaction towards allergens like food, dust and animal dander.

Allergens that commonly trigger allergic conjunctivitis include

PollenAllergic Conjunctivitis
Animal Dander

Itchy and burning sensation
Redness in whites of the conjunctiva
