An observational retrospective study on prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children below 15 years

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is a frequent upper respiratory tract infection affecting school-age children. Predictable therapy options are generally palliative because this illness is self-limiting. In the diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract infections in children, homoeopathic treatments are a functional alternative to conventional pharmaceuticals, offering faster symptom resolution, cost-effectiveness, and fewer side effects. The goal of this study was to see how effective homoeopathic medicines are at treating the symptoms of seasonal allergies in children under the age of 15. The goal of the study is to determine the frequency of Allergic Rhinitis in children as well as the most usually prescribed treatment. From January to June 2021, an observational retrospective study was undertaken in the Outpatient department at Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College. Results: According to a retrospective study on allergic rhinitis in children, allergic rhinitis is more common in children aged 1 to 5, and the most frequently prescribed drug is Phosphorus 200, which provided children with a stable treatment.
