My wife (45 yrs) is presently at menopause, suffering from chronic rhinitis which can be relieved by anti-allergic medicines like Citrizine but recurrs immidietely. She has never suffered from chronic rhinitis in past.Experts please advice.
Her respiratory system is narrowed and conjested with mucus and easy to get relief by bronchodialators (nebulizer) in a hospital for the first time.
Regular use of inhalers like salbair (sos) is necessary
Ayurvedic medicine do not give instant relief for long term use it is ok  (+ info)

What is the best cure for allergic rhinitis?

---

What is the best way to prevent fits of allergic rhinitis especially if you live in a tropical country like the Philippines?
first of all, take vitamin c daily or eat citrus fruits and vegetables to help boost your immune system... if you have allergic rhinitis, avoid eating seafoods i.e. crabs, mussels, lobsters (anything that has shells) because it could worsen the allergic reaction... also, know the source of your allergies (pollen, dust, season) and avoid it if possible... always maintain cleanliness at home, also, if possible, change pillowcases or bedsheets (or anything that can "gather" allergens) weekly....
if you want to cure it by means of medication, antihistamines are the perfect choice...  (+ info)

I have Asthma, Rhinitis and Sinusitis; are there any herbal remedies to unblock my sinuses?

---

Having asthma is a pain in the butt enough, but I also have sinusitis and rhinitis; my sinuses are clogged all the time and I can barely breathe through my nose. It really sucks having to breathe loudly through one nostril or to mouth-breathe and I really hate side effects of my medications, does anyone happen to know any natural or herbal remedies for rhinitis and sinusitis?
My brother used to have the same problems as you!

Anyway, if you have asthma, you don't want to use herbal remedies, because you could be allergic to the herbs and cause yourself even worse problems.

Try salt water rinsing (sniffing up luke warm salt water through your nose and letting it drain through your sinuses). This is a natural way to clear them out with no side effects. My brother got addicted to it! You can also take steamy showers and drink warm liquids. Spicey food will help too. If you have a lot of thick mucus, try taking Mucinex. There are NO side effects, and it will thin your secretions so that they will drain more easily.  (+ info)

How do I tell if I have allergies or vasomotor rhinitis?

---

Every April to October I get bizarre nasal problems. I get a stuffy nose, loss of appetite, severe fatigue and severe dizziness/mental fogginess. I do not have any sneezing, watery eyes or runny nose (classic allergy symptoms) and do not respond to antihistamines. I had allergy shots done. The first round was negative. On the second round (the shots that go in deeper) I was allergic to mold. One allergist told me the first round is more reliable than the second round and that my symptoms sound more like vasomotor rhinitis than allergies. He said the second round of shots can be inaccurate. I don't know who to believe anymore. My symptoms are so bizarre. The dizziness and mental fogginess is so severe that I can barely concentrate at work.
use need ta start eatin more garlic! damn girl! get some magnesium in you and maybe it wont happen everytime the weather changes!!!  (+ info)

What nasal spray would you recommend for allergic rhinitis?

---

My doctor prescribed me one, but it is not covered by my insurance and it's shockingly high in price (almost $90 - 30 gramms) Is there any good,price affordable nasal spray for allergic rhinitis?

Thank you
The worst part of the summer is nasal allergies. There are four options to help address nasal rhinitis. Antihistamines, steroids, topical decongestants, and degranulation inhibitors.

I'm sure the pharmaceutical reps got your doctor to prescribe everyone the latest and greatest nasal steroid, such as Flonaze. This is an option to "smack down" your immune system in your nasal passage and mellow out the inflammatory response, but there can be serious consequences regarding blood vessel integrity and headaches. It might be good short term, but not long term.

There is only one nasal antihystamine available, and that is Astelin. This works well, but can also be pricey.

Topical decongestants are not usually recommended for frequent use due to the "rebound effect."

Straight flushing of your nasal passage a couple times a day helps reduce irritants and mellow out allergies. This is done with a cheap saline solution. At a minimum, you should do this before you go to bed and when you get up.

What I have used mostly is called Chromalyn. This is sold as Naso-Chrom. This acts very differently than any of the other medications. Rather than competing with released histamine to stop rhinitis symptoms, it actually stops the release of histamine to begin with. The key to this medication is to take it before your allergies get really bad. So, taking it 10-15 minutes before you anticipate exposure to allergens (such as going outside), is more effective than anti-histamines. This is about $15 for a bottle.

For the most effective relieve, you should stagger your approach with multiple, inexpensive treatments. So, you should take a 24-hour antihistamine (Walmart sells 60 tabs for $15) for baseline relief, pre-treatment with Naso-Chrom for expected exposures, and saline sprays to help flush allergens out of nasal passage periodically. In the end, this will cost you less than $1/day. And, you are less likely to have crazy side-effects from steroids.  (+ info)

Why does Rhinitis or Hay Fever cause tiredness?

---

I've had Rhinitis for months now, and I get really tired sometimes. I've read that tiredness and fatigue can be a symptoms of this, but my sleep isnt disturbed at all.
How can an aggrivated nose make you feel sleepy?
Allergic reactions cause tiredness because as far as your body is concerned, it's at war with whatever you are allergic to. It's busy mounting a defense, and tracking down invaders. Keeping up the army of white blood cells and releasing histamines takes a lot of energy. Your body only has so much available to use, so it conserves where it can. Daily existence uses a certain amount of energy, but there are always things that can be curtailed. One way to do that is to trigger the feeling of fatigue. Then you slow down and rest, and don't go doing things that are energy intense. To compound things, the medications that treat the reaction also cause you to feel sleepy as well. It's not just the aggravated nose, it's the aggravated everything else.  (+ info)

I am 35 years old. I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis from last 5 years. What type of treatment s?

---

I am 35 years old. I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis . What type of treatment should be taken to recover myself from it? Kindly suggest me some alternative therapy treatment.
avoidance is the gold standard but you would need to be tested to see what your triggers are. If there are too many then my first line treatment is intranasal steroid sprays. I choose these because they actually block the inflammation that occurs when an allergic reaction is triggered rather than just negating the effects of histamine, which is like shooting the cow after it has escaped the barn, instead of making sure the gate doesn't come open. Good adjuncts include HEPA filters on your HVAC unit at home and nasal saline rinses. Good luck!  (+ info)
