Abstract

The Allergic Rhinitis is an inflammatory response triggered by allergens that lead to nasal mucosa inflammation. The current research aimed to assess the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the management of allergic rhinitis, additionally the study aimed to evaluate the impact of these remedies on decreasing the levels of IgE antibodies in the serum. This research involved the enrolment of thirty individuals diagnosed with Allergic Rhinitis drawn from outpatient and inpatient departments as well as rural facilities associated with Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College. The patients were selected randomly and the details were documented, subsequently serum IgE level test also carried out in all the patients. Then the cases underwent careful examination, assessment, and analysis. Regular follow-ups were conducted at 15-day intervals and the changes in the symptoms were documented. Serum IgE levels were re-evaluated after a period of 4-6 months of treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment was determined by comparing the scores of symptoms and serum IgE levels before and after the treatment. Statistical was performed using a paired t test. The results showed a highly significant 99.9% reduction in IgE levels associated with allergic rhinitis before and after the treatment. Similarly, there was also a statistically significant 99.9% improvement in symptom scoring with a p value of 0.05. The finding of this research indicate that homoeopathic remedies are effective in treating Allergic Rhinitis and lowering the serum IgE level in the blood.
