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
Additional symptoms in some chronic cases of allergic rhinitis may include:
- Cough (because of post-nasal discharge)
- Sinus headaches
- Nasal polyps
- Eyelid swelling
- Blocked ears
- Redness of the white part of eyes (Injected sclerae)
How is allergic rhinitis or nasal allergy diagnosed? Usually, doctors will take a complete history of patient suspected for allergic rhinitis, and prognosis is made. In addition, physical examination that helps clinicians to affirm the condition, include the following:
- Pale discoloration of the lining of the nose
- Nasal polyps in some cases
- Swelling of the eyelid
- Allergic shiners – darkened areas under eyes, which may be due to congestion of venous blood
When I came 5 years back I had severe cough and cold problem. Problems used to persist for many days which used to hamper my day to day life Today after 5 yrs of medication my attacks have gone much lesser, duration is also very less and frequency has gone down drastically..thaks Dr. Sourangshu Banerjee.
I used to sneeze a lot before going to bed and after waking up in the morning. The issue seemed to persist for months due to which I had to get it checked. A polyp was found in one of the nasal linings for which i was prescribed medicines and nebulization sessions. The treatment came into effect within one month of starting it. Nebulization sessions helped a lot too. Although allergies would come back sometimes but the intensity had decreased a lot.
When we came here to see the doctor for my daughter, she used to suffer from cold and cough and happens every month. And also it continues for more than 10 days. After taking the medicine from Dr. Batra for more than a year, now she is very good and severity is also much less now. I would like to thank to the doctor Sourangshu Banerjee for his guidance.
Effective treatment for allergies. Cured my long term nasal allergies in just three months. Life has never been so good
