Allergy is one of the major causes of illness in present day that ranges from dust mite contact to anaphylaxis. It occurs when body defences get weak; immunity becomes sensitized and overreacts to an allergen. Hence, early identification has become apt to avoid allergens that trigger overt symptoms. With progression of both economy and education, people have begun adapting effective drug measures to get rid of the source of its occurrence and thus implementing lifestyle changes to improve quality of life. To study how effective is clearing the root cause of allergy from the system in comparison to topical regimen in its management. 480 patients were clinically evaluated, categorised based on their chronicity of symptoms. All were subjected to absolute eosinophil count test. Patients with and without eosinophilia were then treated accordingly. As per the observations, patients were divided into 2 groups with and without eosinophilia and were compared following treating both systemic and local cause separately. Patients dealt for systemic cause of eosinophilia showed far better outcomes compared to other group. Eradicating systemic cause of eosinophilia is mandatory to attain favourable results in treatment protocols.
