Abstract
Introduction: Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction that happens when your immune system overreacts to substances that you inhale, such as pollen. The two types of allergic rhinitis are: Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) Perennial allergic rhinitis, which occurs year-round. Aims and Objectives: To study Efficacy of performing Septoplasty in Allergic Rhinitis. Methodology : This was cross sectional study carried out at tertiary health care centre in the patients attended the Otolaryngology Outpatient Department during January 2014 to January 2015, All the patients who were having the syptoms of Allergic Rhinitis like Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area, Runny nose, Sneezing Dark circles under the eyes, Headache, Problems with smell, Stuffy nose (nasal congestion) were included into study while those who were having serious illness like malignancies, immunocopromised diseases and not given consent were exclude from the study. The Statistical analysis is done by Z-test (Difference between two proportions). Result: In our study we have Observed that Majority of the Patients were in the Age group of 10-20 i.e. 33.33% followed by 1-10 i.e. 26.66%; 40-50 i.e. 15.55%; 20-30 i.e. 13.33%; 30-40 i.e. 8.88%; and >50 i.e. 2.22%. Majority of the patients were Female 71.11% and 28.88% Males. Before the Operation 84.44% of the patients reported Problem of Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area while only 26.66% patients reported this problem after Operation this observed difference was statistically significant (Z=5.51, p<0.05) similarly of Runny nose71.11% and 20.00% ;Significant (Z=4.8, p<0.05), Sneezing77.77% and 17.77% ;Significant (Z=5.69,p<0.05). Dark circles under the eyes in 51.11% and 31.11% this was not statistically significant (Z=1.92, p>0.05). Headache in 62.22% and 26.66%; significant (Z=3.39, p<0.05). Problems with smell53.33% and 28.88%; Significant (Z=2.35, p<0.05). Stuffy nose (nasal congestion) 64.44% and 15.55%; Significant (Z=4.49, p<0.05). Conclusion : With the Septoplasty operation significantly there was reduction in frequency of the symptoms occurred in allergic rhinitis like Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area, Runny nose, Sneezing, Headache, Problems with smell, Stuffy nose (nasal congestion) except, Dark circles under the eyes which was not significantly reduced.
