Healthtips on allergy/allergic rhinitis/seasonal allergy symptoms

Allergy rhinitis is an inflammation in the nasal passages with watery nasal discharge and itching in the nose and eyes.  Generally 60 % of all the patients have symptoms of allergic rhinitis even before the age of 30. Many won’t take the symptoms very seriously until the onset. This is common equally in male and female population. The main reason is exposure to dust, seasonal pollens, increased pollution from vehicles, harmful gases from factories, dust from cotton mills and genetic. There are more chances of passing this disorder from parents or grandparents to the children. Generally allergic rhinitis patients will also have cough, sneezing, wheezing, and cold, running nose, head ache and the airways will become narrow causing difficulty in breathing. This generally disturbs the patients in the early morning.

 Tea or coffee causes irritation. You may take milk instead of coffee. Take lassi, yogurt or buttermilk as yogurt has bacteria lactobacilli, which lubricate the intestines and helps in digestion.
