Solution

Amritya is suffering from the seasonal allergy which is usually caused by pollen grains of some plants being dispersed by air. In late summer and early autumn, the common weed responsible for allergic rhinitis is Amaranthus spinosus (Spiny Amaranth, Needle Burr). It is an annual plant that grows in wild. Amritya must be living on the outskirts of the town where the wild growth of plants is common. Even then he should undergo an allergy test from an expert to find out the truth.
(i) It is suggested that Amritya should shift to the interior of the town though it will have an only small impact.
(ii) He should take anti-allergic medicine during the pollen season.
(iii) Amritya and other similar sufferers should undergo conditioning therapy to get cured from the allergy.
