Allergic rhinitis is an IgE mediated hypersensitivity reaction.Initial treatment is with nasal sprays and antihistamines.Then step by step the dose and type of drugs are added to achieve relief.The definitive treatment is called as immunotherapy where in patient is tested for the specific allergen (skin prick test) and patients immunity is modulated to cope up with allergen by weekly injection/sublingual dose of allergen.The treatment period is long and safe in experienced hands.Please consult allergy specialist in your area for expert management
