Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a prevalent immune hypersensitivity disorder affecting a significant portion of the global population, often underreported due to patients not seeking formal healthcare. The increasing exposure to environmental pollutants has heightened susceptibility to allergens, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and itching. This study aimed to evaluate the demographic profile, clinical presentation, and complications of allergic rhinitis among patients attending the allergy clinic at a tertiary care hospital. Conducted as a retrospective cross-sectional analysis, the study involved 100 patients with allergic rhinitis. Findings revealed a predominance of moderate/severe persistent cases (45%) and a higher prevalence among males (54%). The 21-30 age group represented the largest affected demographic, and middle-income patients comprised the majority (50%). Occupationally, office workers and students had the highest representation, suggesting potential environmental or occupational triggers. Frequent sneezing was the most common symptom, and complications included rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps, and conditions such as bronchial asthma and allergic conjunctivitis. These findings emphasize the need for early diagnosis, management strategies, and targeted preventive measures to improve quality of life and reduce disease burden. Further research should examine genetic and environmental factors associated with allergic rhinitis
