Dr Sudipta Paul<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n ABSTRACT: KEYWORDS: <\/b><\/span>Allergic rhinitis, liliaceae family, homoeopathy<\/span><\/p>\n INTRODUCTION: Homoeopathy treat the sick individual, not the single disease entity. It is seen that the liliaceae family has a mechanism of action over catarrhal group i.e. these group of remedies mainly affect the mucosa or serosa, membranes lining of upper respiratory tract, gastro intestinal tract and synovium joints. So, liliaceae family is found effective for controlling allergic rhinitis.<\/span><\/p>\n DEFINITION: TYPES AND CAUSES:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n It is of 2 types-<\/span><\/p>\n 1. SEASONAL:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 TIME OF OCCURANCE: Spring, Summer, Early fall,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 CAUSE:<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Airborne mold spores,<\/span><\/p>\n 2.Grass: Ryegrass, Timothy<\/span><\/p>\n 3.Tress: Pine, Cedar, Hazel, Hornbeam, Horse chestnut, Willow, lime, Olive etc.<\/span><\/p>\n 4.Weeds: Ragweed, Plantain, Mugwart etc.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. PERENNIAL:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 TIME OF OCCURANCE: All the years<\/span><\/p>\n \u00b7 CAUSE: Dust mites, Pet hair or dander, Cockroaches.<\/span><\/p>\n Some people experiences both types and there are also non allergic causes for rhinitis like<\/span><\/p>\n a.Cigarette,<\/span><\/p>\n b.Perfumes,<\/span><\/p>\n c.Toiletaries products,<\/span><\/p>\n d.Strong odours.<\/span><\/p>\n Beside these factors inherited genetics also helps in development of allergic rhinitis. <\/span><\/p>\n SYMPTOMS: Sometime there are \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Worldwide, many studies shows that allergic rhinitis and asthma <\/span>often co-exist in the alike patient. So, for coexistence of <\/span>these 2 diseases the patient get lack of suitable treatment, moreover the treatment focus only on asthma not on allergic rhinitis.<\/span><\/p>\n RISK FACTORS : MANAGEMENTS: INVESTIGATION: 1.SKIN TEST: Most common method of allergy testing; it includes:<\/span><\/p>\n 2.BLOOD TEST: Blood test are not as sensitive as skin test but are often used for people who are not able to have skin tests. The most common types of blood tests are:<\/span><\/p>\n EPIDEMIOLOGY: LILIACEAE FAMILY AND ALLERGIC RHINITIS: Above all these symptoms 1st eight symptoms are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. So we can use liliaceae family as a treatment of allergic rhinitis.<\/span><\/p>\n These remedies mainly affect the mucosa or serosa, membranes <\/span>lining of the upper respiratory tract and produces profuse discharges like coryza.<\/span><\/p>\n Now below the indications for these medicines in allergic rhinitis are given:<\/span><\/p>\n 1<\/span>.

\n<\/b><\/span>Allergic rhinitis is a very common disease in paediatric age. In this the symptoms are appearing just like common cold e.g. itchy nose, watery eyes, rhinorrhea, sore throat. But like viral infection it is not communicable disease. It has a significant impact on health and affects sleep quality, work productivity and school performance. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b><\/span>We are living at 21st century, but the incidences of diseases which are from allergy like bronchial asthma, coryza, anaphylaxis, drug allergy, insect allergy are increasing day by day. Allergic rhinitis is highly increasing throughout the world. It is one of the top most cases which comes in primary visit to physician. But it is often overlooked or sometimes it remain undiagnosed by physician instead of its highly increasing prevalence rate. In India, the allergic rhinitis are becoming on a rising trend in terms of prevalency as well as severity. The incidence rate is high in between paediatrics age group. Some disease conditions are always corelated with allergic diseases. So, allergic rhinitis also follows the similar way. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b><\/span>Allergic rhinitis is a type of inflammation in the nose which occurs <\/span>when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollens, <\/span>dust or animal dander. Approximately, 10% -30% of adults & 40% of children are affected by it. Many people with allergic rhinitis also have asthma, allergic conjunctivitis or atopic dermatitis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n<\/b><\/span>Allergies can effect anyone at anytime but if there is history of <\/span>allergies in family, then patient is more prone to develope allergic <\/span>rhinitis. Atopic eczema and asthma also increases the risk of <\/span>allergic rhinitis. Some factors can also triggers or worsen AR, such <\/span>as like-<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n<\/b><\/span>In the world 60 million people are suffering from allergies and asthma. The burden of allergic rhinitis is enormous, constituting about 55% of all allergies. In India, 20% -30% of people suffers from allergic rhinitis.<\/span><\/p>\n
