Allergic Rhinitis Treatment In Ayurveda

ALLERGIC RHINITIS Ayurvedic Treatment

Doctors usually diagnose allergic rhinitis just by examining you and asking certain questions regarding your symptoms, activities, and home environment. Your doctor may decide to treat your symptoms without doing tests if he or she thinks that you have allergic rhinitis, without any complications. The doctor may check your symptoms again later. If complicated, he may also ask you to do some blood tests/allergy tests to find the allergan causing this condition.²
