ABSTRACT

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the commonest allergic manifestations affecting approximately 400 million people worldwide. It is associated with a reduced quality of life, low productivity in the workplace, and poor school performance. On the other hand, medical cost increases. Allergic rhinitis has a considerable effect on the quality of life and can have significant consequences if left untreated. Many patients downplay rhinitis symptoms as an inconvenience rather than a disease. The majority of the patients start visiting their local physician, when the problem becomes chronic, especially when it is associated with complications. There is a huge economic burden associated with treatment by pharmacological agents available currently. The pharmacological agents are also associated with various side effects and many severe adverse events. That‟s why we look for the alternative form of treatment for allergic rhinitis with less financial burden and least adverse reactions associated with medicines presently in use commonly. Method: This study show prospective study to patient from 2014 to2020. Results: Show by tables.
