Saline water as home remedy for allergic rhinitis

Health Description
Health consultation description: I am now in the age group of 25 to 30 y and am prone to suffer from colds. The symptoms are - sneezing throughout the day accompanied by a sore-throat, running nose which is later followed by a cold. It usually takes a week to recover. When I am in a cold place my nose gets blocked (every winter). I was born and brought up in Chennai and remember as a child being recommended tablet Hostacycline 500 mg. The doctor whom I visit gives me only antibiotic tablets and nothing else. I am otherwise normal and am able to do all kinds of activities. For the past ten days (as suggested by friends), I stopped taking milk and its products (curd, buttermilk). Would that be useful for my problem?

Condition analysis:
Yes, you do seem to be suffering from allergic rhinitis going onto sinusitis. You need to try anti-allergic tablets along with local steroid nasal sprays for a few weeks, after being seen by an ENT surgeon. If there is no significant improvement, then a CT scan of the sinuses would be warranted, with a view towards endoscopic sinus surgery.

Saline Water as home remedy for Allergic Rhinitis:
Noted as the first action to take to rid allergic rhinitis, a saline water treatment will target the irritating nose mucus. Add a bit of baking soda and one teaspoon of salt to two cups of warm water. Apply some of the solution in a nostril with a nasal bulb and have it drip through the other nostril or from the mouth. Remove excess mucus and solution by blowing your nose. Repeat on other side and perform this process twice each day.
