Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction that occurs when the immune system overreacts to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. It leads to inflammation of the nasal passages, causing bothersome symptoms that affect daily comfort and well-being. Dr. Praveen M P offers specialized care for allergic rhinitis, focusing on accurate diagnosis, trigger management, and effective symptom relief.
Typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, and headaches. Dr. Praveen conducts a thorough evaluation using medical history, physical examination, and allergy testing (such as skin prick tests or blood tests) to identify specific allergens causing the reaction.
Treatment may include antihistamines, nasal corticosteroid sprays, decongestants, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and immunotherapy (allergy shots) for long-term control. Dr. Praveen provides personalized care plans that focus on reducing allergen exposure, alleviating symptoms, and preventing frequent flare-ups.
Medical counselling plays a key role in managing allergic rhinitis by educating patients about allergen avoidance, proper medication usage, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Praveen M P offers individualized counselling on creating an allergy-friendly environment at home and workplace, especially during high pollen seasons.
Counselling helps patients recognize triggers, understand the correct use of nasal sprays and medications, and adopt preventive measures such as air purification and dust control. Dr. Praveen emphasizes the importance of adherence to treatment plans and regular follow-ups for effective symptom management.
