Abstract
Pathophysiology and Non-Pharmacological Management of Allergic Rhinitis
Highlights
Allergic rhinitis is very common in the community affecting all ages, the incidence is highest during the teenage years [1]
That’s why we look for the alternative form of treatment for allergic rhinitis with less financial burden and least adverse reactions associated with medicines presently in use commonly
Understanding the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis becomes easy if we remember events are going on in allergic reactions at the cellular level, which is under the autonomic nervous system in genetically susceptible persons
Summary
Allergic rhinitis is very common in the community affecting all ages, the incidence is highest during the teenage years [1]. It is frequently underappreciated and underdiagnosed [1]. The majority of allergic rhinitis patients rely on pharmacological treatment to relieve their symptoms [1]. Non-pharmacological treatments have been an interest in the management of allergic rhinitis. Immunotherapy, such as Subcutaneous Allergen Immunotherapy (SCIT) was proven to be effective to treat allergic rhinitis and well-tolerated option for the patients [8]. This review included the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis for a better understanding of the disease and the current role of non-pharmacological treatment options in allergic rhinitis
