Allergy and allergic rhinitis

Sneezing, itching and watery discharge after exposure may suggest allergy. Persistent nasal obstruction also needs assessment for other causes.

Which concerns are assessed?

  • Allergic rhinitis and nasal allergy
  • Repeated sneezing, nasal/eye itching and watery discharge
  • Nasal blockage, turbinate swelling and nasal-spray review

How is it assessed?

  • Review triggers, seasonality, home/work exposure, asthma and prior treatment.
  • Consider selected allergy testing when it would change management.

How is care planned?

  • Reduce triggers, use saline and consider suitable antihistamines or nasal steroids, with advice on technique.
  • Prolonged self-use of decongestant drops can worsen obstruction.

When is prompt or emergency care needed?

  • Lip/tongue swelling with breathing difficulty needs emergency care. One-sided bloody discharge should not be assumed to be allergy.

For a life-threatening emergency, seek emergency care or call 999 in Bangladesh.

Frequently asked questions

Does surgery cure nasal allergy?

No. Selected surgery can relieve structural obstruction; allergic inflammation needs its own management.
