SELF-CARE TIPS TO MANAGE RHINITIS SYMPTOMS

Allergic Rhinitis
July 22, 2020

Respiratory allergies occur when your immune system has a negative reaction to some sort of airborne substance such as dust. Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is also a type of respiratory allergy. It causes inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. It all starts with a runny nose, constant sneezing and redness in the eye. 

Other Allergic rhinitis symptoms include:

 

  • Nasal congestion
  • Itchy nose, ears, throat or eyes
  • Watery eyes
  • Reduced sense of smell
  • Post-nasal discharge
  • Sinus headaches
  • Eyelid swelling
  • Blocked ears

SELF-CARE TIPS TO MANAGE RHINITIS SYMPTOMS

 

Did you know that according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information around 20%–30% of the Indian population suffers from allergic rhinitis? 

Allergic Rhinitis is one of the most common chronic ailments caused due to allergens such as dust mites, pollen and animal skin, urine and saliva. It has a significant influence on health in the long run. Therefore, early allergic rhinitis treatment is necessary for better management of the symptoms.

A combined approach of both an effective treatment and self-care remedies are always very helpful for faster recovery from allergic rhinitis. The best way of managing allergic rhinitis is to stay away from triggers.

 

Tips to Manage Allergic Rhinitis:

  • Dust mites live on your skin and settle on any smooth and soft surface that your skin touches such as sofas and curtains. Use of slipcovers, curtains made of cotton fabric and decorative pillows that can be washed in every one to four weeks will eliminate a lot of allergens.

 

  • While we use a vacuum cleaner to clean our homes, it is necessary that we clean the machine itself. If not cleaned well, all the dust collected from the house remains back in the vacuum cleaner that may trigger an allergy.
  • Wash your soft toys regularly as they are another breeding playground for allergens of all sorts. 
  • Potted plants when moist are an ideal environment for molds to grow. They gradually spread, eventually leading to allergies. It is recommended to spread aquarium gravel over the dirt to help contain mold.
  • Close windows and use air conditioning as often as possible during pollen season to prevent triggers of pollen allergy. Cleaning window frames and panels to avoid condensation and molds is an effective way to reduce exposure to allergens. 
  • Pet hair can carry dust and pollen which could also be one of the causes of allergy. As their hair gets in contact with the allergens such as dander, urine and saliva it causes you to catch through it. Having weekly bathing time for them may reduce the amount of allergens in the dander they shed.
  • A room without books is like a body without a soul. But there are higher changes of allergens to grow in there too. It is advised to dust them regularly. While you do that it is recommended to cover your nose and mouth. 
  • Beds and mattresses not only help in unwinding and relaxing but also brew allergens like dust mites that might become your worst enemy. Washing sheets, pillowcases and blankets at least once a week is a best practice. 
  • New furniture and paint emit volatile organic compounds into the air that are potential triggers and can even lead to asthma. Keeping yourself away during the renovation by setting a time during the day may help to reduce exposure to allergies. 

Allergic Rhinitis and Homeopathy

A research study that assessed 147 patients with respiratory allergies showed 87.6% treatment success rate with homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic medicines mainly target and build the body’s immunity that helps reduce hypersensitivity towards the allergens. In the long run, with homeopathic treatment, patients are known to react less aggressively to the allergens, which may gradually help to cure allergic rhinitis and hypersensitivity.
