DO you suffer from bouts of frequent sneezes, itchy and runny nose? Do you often wake up sneezing in the morning? Does sneezing and runny nose occur during a particular weather or when there is change of weather? Or, do you wheeze or do your eyes feel itchy with sneezing and runny nose? If you have some or all of these symptoms then you may be suffering from nasal allergy.Nasal allergy, also called allergic rhinitis or hay fever or pollinosis, is an allergic reaction of the body (mainly the upper respiratory tract and eyes) to certain substances – allergens – that we breathe in. The main allergens are pollens, molds, animal dander and dust.Allergy is nothing but an over-sensitisation of our defence system. This means that our immune system (defence system) starts reacting to a substance which is otherwise harmless to our body. In other words, it is a misdirected immune attack.Pollens are usually the main culprits.Homeopathic treatment is based on the principle of “like cures like”. This means if a substance that in its raw state produces a disease condition also has the ability to treat similar symptoms when given in diluted and activated (potentised) form.Thus, a lot many plants whose pollens are the known culprits for this kind of allergy are being used in homeopathy to treat allergic rhinitis. By giving a substance that has similar manifestations, homeopathy is able to optimise the already over-sensitised immune system.Two medicines which represent new advance in homeopathy are Galphimia Glauca and Histaminum Hydrochlo-ride.A US study found Galphimia Glauca to be highly effective in treating allergic rhinitis. Many other very effective plant-based medicines have also been introduced during the last few years: Cardiospermum Halicacabum and Amni Visnaga, for example. Conventional homeopathic medicines like Allium Cepa , Sabadilla , Arundo Mur, Ambrosia and Aralea are also very effective. It is important to remember that homoeopathy is a system where the treatment is based on the patient’s individual symptoms. Thus, each medicine has its own important place in treating allergic rhinitis. It may take a season or two to completely cure allergic rhinitis.With growing industrialisation, our bodies are changing according to the environment .A BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) report has it that one in six people in the industrialised world suffers from seasonal pollen allergies. Pollution does not cause allergy directly, but is supposed to increase the sensitivity to pollens. In Japan, it was found that the sensitivity to pollens was high in people living in areas with high levels of diesel exhaust particles in the environment. Genetic factors are also supposed to play a role in developing nasal allergy.

I am very strict in her diet by avoiding citrus foods, cold items, toffees, Chats, Preservative foods, etc. She is under Homeo medication for the past 5 months. But still monthly once she is getting cough & wheezing. When she is having more wheezing i am giving her alloepathy medication (Nebalizer + Puff ). I want ur suggestion regarding whether i can continue my Homeo Medication or I can go for Alloepathy Medication for my child. Her wheezing is because of genes (father side).

Precaution to be taken from dust and Inhaler Budecort to be taken. last 1 year we have given my son Budecort Inhaler 2 puff morning & 2 puff evening.

dear doctor sharma am suffering in allergic rhintis. i always having a block noise..
Dear Sir, I have a 5 year old son who is suffering from chronic coughing bouts. The coughing usually ends in vomiting and it happens during night time. He starts coughing in the middle of the night and after he vomits he feels ok. But the fear of throwing up is too much for him and he starts crying. This has been going on for a month now. Earlier, he used to sneeze a lot. his eyes would become red and itchy and he rubs his eyes till they pain. His ears and throat start itching along with this. Ever since, the coughing started, the sneezing has subsided a little. Sometimes after he throws up, he sneezes and his throat and ears itch. I feel so helpless and it is a pain to see my little one suffering so much. We tried homeo meds but to no avail. Pls help…
Sir,
I had head cold a few days back. Now that is no more, but I have pressure feels over jaws (one sided), ear buzzing and nazal discharge is clear. I had consulted doctors, they say it is ‘Raisha’ and prescribe no medicines only advised steam inhalation and hot soups. Pl advise any homepathy medicines for this
thanks

Dear Sir,
My name is Parvez and I am a 27 year old male staying i Bangalore.It’s almost been a year that I have been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. The initial medication provided to me was some nasal sprays and decongestants. However the bouts of sneezing have been recurrent during this period with very rare periods of relief. My throat has severe inflammation and I find it hard to even speak as I feel as if there are pins pricking my throat on the inside. I mostly wake up with blocked nose on one or both sides and my head seems heavy. On days of excessive sneezing my throat stays itchy and I end up spitting blood.Allopathy has proved to be a complete failure so far as the doctors themselves admit there’s not much relief to be found with allopathy. Kindly inform me if homeopathy has a permanent solution for this. I will be most obliged for any advice you provide.
Thanks,
Parvez Azahar

Dr. Sharma,
My son is soon to be six and suffers from allergic rhinitis, stuffy nose in the morning, sneezing, and at times running nose. The symptoms are year. We also have a cat in our home. We live in between Milwaukee and Chicago. When we were in Montana in June (hot and dry) we notice he had few or no symptoms. We would like to treat him with a homeopathic remedy and is there one better suited to where we live and our situation. Is Allium Cepa our best option?
Thank kindly,
Ma Family
