Allergic Rhinosinusitis
Stuffy nose, nasal obstruction, sneezing and watery nasal discharge. All suggest you might have allergic rhinitis. India is the capital of allergic rhinitis so most of us have allergic rhinitis.
Treatment is five types.
1. Avoid allergens from going in by wearing a mask or covering with chunni, kerchief etc
2. Saline nasal cleaning which is a part of yoga which can be done by seeing youtube videos. Personally I will recommend this as best treatment line. Should be done everyday.
3. Medication. I prescribe allopathy. Antihistaminics and short course steroid nasal sprays. I have seen ayurveda medicine also working well.
4. Surgery if you have dns and turbinate hypertrophy. Only an ent specialist examination can tell you if you need it.
5. Immunotherapy.
