Clinical Assessment
A 34-year-old bank manager from Triprayar presenting with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Symptoms peaked during the dry windy rubber plantation shedding season (January-March) and the damp monsoon season. Previous management involved daily antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays, which caused dry nasal mucosa and nosebleeds.
Homeopathic Therapeutics & Management
Constitutional analysis noted his morning sneezing triggers, sensitivity to rubber tree pollen, itchy palate, chilly thermal profile, and history of AC dependency. After 1 Month: Sneezing fits reduced to 2-3 times; nasal stuffiness cleared. After 3 Months: Stopped nasal sprays; IgE level fell to 190 IU/mL. After 6 Months: Passed rubber tree shedding season without significant flares. One Year Follow-up: Total allergy control.
Lifestyle & Nutritional Support
Performed saline nasal rinses daily; kept bedroom windows closed overnight; avoided refrigerated food and drinks during shedding season.
Clinical Outcome
Follow-up Period: 1 year- Complete clearing of morning sneezing fits and rhinitis
- Normal nasal respiration without mouth breathing or snoring
- Successful discontinuation of all steroid sprays and antihistamines
- Zero asthmatic wheezing episodes during pollen seasons
