“…19 Among the two studies with different tool, one study at Jaipur reported 24.31% prevalence among children aged 6-18 yrs while another study at Delhi found 11.69% prevalence excluding the patients with asthma which can be a region of lowered incidence rate. 5,7 Both the prevalence studies in India were at different setting and may not be comparable with present study. Allergy status may be dependent on many factors such as increase in pollen exposure as most of the college campus are surrounded with greenery and change in habitat, as many students shift from their home to hostel campus during college days.…”

[4][5][6] We found two survey studies in major cities of India to measure the prevalence of AR; Delhi reported 11.03% (excluding those with asthma) while another study in Jaipur reported 24.31% prevalence. 5,7 Allergic rhinitis may cause significant comorbidity such as sleep impairment, fatigue and mood changes.…”

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a widespread and under diagnosed upper airway disease. It has significant social and economic burden. Symptoms may cause fatigue, mood changes and difficult sleep that may have deleterious effect on student’s academic activity. Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study among 1337 college students in Vadodara city of Gujarat, selected by cluster sampling method. Response was recorded using SFAR (Score for allergic rhinitis) scale and a semi structured questionnaire. Results: Prevalence of AR using SFAR was 19.22% among college students, out of them 65.4% were girls and 34.6% boys. The prevalence of two major variant of AR, perennial and seasonal was 38.91% and 51.75% respectively. 81.32% were aware about their allergy, 20.23% had gone for allergy test and 73.08% among them resulted positive. 82.49% students had perceived that AR is affecting their academic activity among SFAR≥7 group. Conclusion: The results of this survey showed elevated prevalence of AR among college students in Vadodara city; however, allergy tests and physician visits for AR conditions were less. Major proportion that had self-reported AR has shown associated comorbidity. Students with AR, perceive a negative effect on their academic activity that equally affects girls and boys.

Allergic Rhinitis is characterized by sneezing, rhinorrhea, obstruction of the nasal passages, itching in conjunctiva, nose, and pharynx; and lachrymation, all occurring in a temporal relationship to allergen exposure. Approximately 20% to 30 % of total population suffers from at least one of these allergic diseases in India. Common conventional medicines include Anti-Histamines, Intra Nasal Steroids and Immunotherapy. But they have found to be having a suppressive action only. Allergen avoidance is the only measure advised by most of the conventional physicians which is practically difficult in everyday life. Conventional system of medicine has limited scope in treating AR. They only suppress the symptoms which may lead to relapse of allergy in a greater intensity. Homoeopathic medicines can be useful in treating chronic, recurrent allergic conditions without suppressing the symptoms. There is a better scope in Homoeopathy for the treatment of AR, since the treatment is based on Holistic and Individualistic approach.
