Allergic Rhinitis and Sinus Allergy Treatment in Surat

What Is Allergic Rhinitis (એલર્જી શરદી) and Sinus Allergy?

Allergic rhinitis happens when your immune system overreacts to something harmless in the air, such as dust or pollen. Your body releases chemicals like histamine. This makes the inside of your nose swell, itch and fill with mucus. Many people call it “dust allergy”, એલર્જી શરદી, or a cold that never goes away.

Sinusitis is swelling of the sinuses, the small air spaces around your nose, cheeks and forehead. When allergic rhinitis keeps your nose blocked, mucus can get trapped in the sinuses. This causes pressure, pain and repeated infections.

The two often go together. Treating the allergy behind them is key to longer-lasting relief. If your nose allergy also brings a cough that won’t settle, read about allergic bronchitis and chronic cough.

Common Symptoms

Tick the ones that sound like you:

• Sneezing, often many times in a row
• Runny nose with clear, watery mucus
• Blocked or stuffy nose, especially at night or in the morning
• Itchy nose, throat, ears or roof of the mouth
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Pressure or pain around the cheeks, eyes or forehead
• Thick mucus dripping down the back of the throat (post-nasal drip)
• Headache, tiredness or poor sleep
• Reduced sense of smell
• Symptoms that flare up with the seasons, dust, pollen or weather changes

If you ticked two or more, and they keep coming back, it’s worth seeing a nose allergy doctor in Surat who looks for the cause.

Common Triggers

Triggers are different for everyone. Common ones include:

• Dust and dust mites: tiny bugs that live in mattresses, pillows, carpets and curtains
• Pollen: from trees, grasses and weeds, often worse in certain seasons
• Pets: flakes of skin (dander) from cats, dogs or birds
• Mould and dampness: common in humid weather and during the monsoon
• Smoke and pollution: vehicle exhaust, kitchen smoke, agarbatti and strong scents
• Weather changes: sudden shifts in temperature or humidity

How We Diagnose Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis

Getting the diagnosis right is the first step to the right treatment.

1. Clinical assessment. Dr. Dungrani asks about your symptoms, health history, how often they happen, what seems to set them off and how severe they are.
2. IgE blood test (if needed). A simple blood test that shows how your immune system reacts to specific allergens. It helps find your exact triggers. Read more about the IgE blood test.
3. PFT lung test (only if your breathing is affected). If you also have wheezing, cough or breathlessness, a simple breathing test checks how well your lungs work. About the PFT

A test is advised only when your symptoms are long-lasting or unclear. The doctor will explain what you need and why.
