Some persons are apt to faint from the smell of roses , the agent provoking an allergic reaction is called an allermnen , the most common allergens are pollens animal hair foods , drugs and contact allergens , allergies commonly affect the respiratory passages and the skin , although other areas as the digestive tract , nervous system , joints , kidneys and blood vessels are not excepted , there are types of allergies of external and exogenic or internal
Exo geninc allegy is called by any of the varius sllergens is taken as exogenic and therefore various tests such as patch test on the skin are done and the tests such as patch test on the skin are done and the tests such as patch test on the skin are doneand the patient is finally advised to avoid scores of things to which he shows sensitivity
Tonsils and adenoids
Tonsils are like two sentinels of the throat , adenoids are masses of jmphatic tissue in the throat , adenoids are masses of lymphatic tissue in the throat and back of the nose , both tonsils and adenoids serve to fight and collect microorganisms from entering the chest through the throat and in the process often get enlarged , it is an erroneous idea that their surgical removal decreases the individuals susceptibility to catch infection , experience shows that such susceptibility to catch infection , experience shows and the allergic patients suffer from allergy all the more specially in diseases like sinusitis , allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma
Remedies useful for tonsils are usually equally useful for adenoids also , these include bary]ta carb . colophylum , belladonna , hephar sulph , silicea , merc sol , phytolacca apis mellifica , lachesis , a rsenic album
2. Sinusitis
This information of one or more of the paranasal sinusitis , often occurs during an upper respiratory infection , but it can also be due some allergy treatment of sinusitis of sinusitis should be directed towards the cause of disease through classic homoeopathic treatment
Chronic catarrah and sinusitis
The lining of the nose , throat , sinus , cavities and upper part of the lungs (trachea , larynx and bronchia)
Contains small mucus glands that secrete a watery substance which helps to lubricate the airways and protect us from infection and pullutants that may be included
If the secretions are too productive , or if they become thick and infected , the common symptoms of a runny a cough or even a temperature and facial pain can occur the sinuses are hollowed –out cavities ( four parts )in the bones of the face which normally contain air and which are lined by mucus membranes the mucus normally flows between the nose and the sinuses through little openings and ducts , if these become blocked , neither air nor mucus can flow between the nose and the sinuses , through little openings and ducts , if these become blocked , neither air nor mucus can flow and infection can set in leading to sinusitis infections , allergies air pollutants , smoking and stuffy office
The major causes of chronic catarrh , that can lead to sinusitis , infections , allergies , air pollutants , smoking and stuffy buildings ( which can lead to a condition known as sick building syndrome )cold viruses and influenza are the commonest cause of opisodic catterh , but allergies , especially to pollen (hay fever ) or house –dust mites can lead to persistant nasal stuffiness , some individuals , especially small chidren will also produce an inflammation of the mucus membranes
Leading to the symptoms descried , the persistent use of anti histemens or nasal decongestant in hay fever or other allergens will thicken the mucus initially and may stop the symptoms , but it can lead to blockage of the iny ducts and actually bring about a sinus infection
A chronic discharge fro m the nose yellow or green occasionally tinged with loss of sense of smell or taste watering of the eyes with rednesss or suelling over the sinuses facial pain on stooping , bending , coughing or sneezing , soreness in the face which occasionally may be located over the teeth
