A case report on individualized homoeopathic treatment of allergic rhinitis

Abstract

The prevalence of allergic rhinitis, a common and frequently crippling condition characterised by rhinorrhea, nose congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing, is rising globally. Over-the-counter (prescription-free) medications are available to treat mild allergies. Even common people are familiar with antihistamines, nasal decongestants, and nasal sprays, which doctors typically prescribe. However, these medications do not diminish the body's inclination to overreact to harmless internal or external stimuli; rather, them only help to control discomfort and alleviate symptoms during an acute episode.This case study demonstrates the effective use of an individualised homoeopathic medication to treat acute paroxysms of allergic rhinitis. The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test “Snot-22”was used to assess the severity before treatment and improvement after treatment (before and after SNOT 22 score scale). Following in-depth case analysis, repertorization, and Materia Medica consultation, Individualized homoeopathic medicine has been prescribed decreasing the symptom severity and patients tendency of manifestation of symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This case report demonstrates that the patient received excellent therapy with individualised homoeopathic medication without the need for antihistamines or nasal sprays, supporting the claim that homoeopathy is a successful treatment for allergic rhinitis.
