What Is Chronic Rhinitis?
Rhinitis, or runny nose, is a short-lived condition that usually goes away on its own. Chronic rhinitis, however, is a condition that persists for over three months. Some patients experience this condition year round, while others find it comes and goes for months at a time. The negative effects of chronic rhinitis impact all areas of one’s life and well-being.
Here’s what’s happening. Nerve cells line the nasal cavity, and when air flows through the nose, these cells can overreact to a number of different irritants including: strong odors, perfumes, air pollution, as well as hot, cold, or dry air due to seasonal weather changes. The nerve cells will begin to fight these perceived irritants with inflammation. Signs and symptoms of this inflammation include the following:
- Itching and sneezing
- Runny nose that often feels like it can’t be cleared
- Congestion
- Post-nasal drip
Boulder Valley Ear, Nose & Throat is committed to your health and delighted to provide an effective treatment for this condition and the related symptoms.
How Can RhinAer Help?
Unlike at-home remedies and medicines that only provide temporary relief or ineffective surgical procedures, RhinAer treatment targets the overactive nerves. With a safe, in-office procedure, specialists at Boulder Valley Ear, Nose & Throat use low temperature radiofrequency energy to get to the root of the issue. They will apply a local anesthetic and then insert a small wand into the affected nostril. The wand is directed towards the nerves in order to disrupt the signals causing an overproduction of mucus.
Benefits of RhinAer Procedure
RhinAer treatment is not only effective but is incision-free. Patients experience may experience some discomfort during the procedure, and they can go about their usual activities the same day.
After two to six weeks of treatment, patients have experienced lasting results from the RhinAer Procedure. Patients have reported a decrease in symptoms of 40-90%, as well as reduced sinus infections. Improvement in sleep and cognitive function are further benefits.
