Ayurvedic Treatment for Rhinorrhoea starts with symptomatic relief, improves digestion and finally improves the immunity of the body. Rhinorrhoea, as the name implies is the excess drainage from the nose, ranging from clear watery fluid to thick mucus. It can be a part of an acute infection like a common cold or a chronic condition like tuberculosis. In severe cases, even a blood tinted mucus may be present. It can happen due to a lot of reasons. So, the severity and prognosis vary vividly.

Pathophysiology of Rhinorrhoea
The process of sensitization of allergen needs the presence of antigen-presenting cells, T and B lymphocytes. It depends on environmental allergen exposure too. Generation of allergen-specific IgE is then produced and it circulates in the peripheral blood. Then it gets attached itself to the surface of all mast cells and basophils especially in the nasal mucosa. Again, the exposure to allergen activates these cells, produces classic mediators of the allergic reaction, causing acute nasal symptoms. Then, inflammatory and immune cell infiltrate, including eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and monocytes, take on the late stages of the allergic response. Due to inflammation of the mucosa, the nose reacts more vigorously to later exposures to allergen. It turns out to be hyperresponsive to irritants and changes in weather.
Diagnosis of Rhinorrhoea
- Clinical examination
- Culture will guide any antibiotic therapy.
- X-ray of sinuses may show clouding from infection.
- Nasal discharge cytology is sometimes used to diagnose allergic fungal sinusitis
- Specialist investigation (eg, CT scanning and screening tests for cystic fibrosis) may be required to rule out the rarer causes.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was done to assess the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab versus placebo for severe bilateral nasal polyposis. Patients aged 18 to 70 years with recurrent nasal polyposis requiring surgery were chosen. Patients received 750 mg of intravenous mepolizumab or placebo every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses in addition to daily topical corticosteroid treatment.
A significantly greater proportion of patients in the mepolizumab group compared with the placebo group no longer required surgery at Week 25. There was a significant improvement in nasal polyposis severity VAS score, endoscopic nasal polyp score, all individual VAS symptom scores, and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test patient-reported outcome score in the mepolizumab compared with placebo groups.
In patients with recurrent nasal polyposis receiving topical corticosteroids who required surgery, mepolizumab treatment led to a greater reduction in the need for surgery and a greater improvement in symptoms than placebo.
