What is chronic rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis is a condition where a patient’s tissues lining their nose is persistently inflamed. This can lead to symptoms like a constant runny nose and often post-nasal drip, congestion, coughing, nasal itching, and sneezing. While these symptoms may be related to allergies, symptoms from chronic rhinitis can occur all year.

This challenging condition can negatively impact your life in countless ways, and in the past, trying to find an effective treatment was frustrating. Like many, you may manage your symptoms using medications and sprays. Unfortunately, these treatments only provide temporary relief. It’s only when the root cause of your rhinitis is addressed that you can expect to find real, lasting relief.

Symptoms of chronic rhinitis include:

  • Constant runny nose
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Nasal congestion
  • Itching and sneezing

What happens during the RhinAer Stylus procedure?

Your ENT specialist at Surgical Associates Northwest, performs the RhinAer procedure at the office under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

During the procedure, your doctor inserts the RhinAer Stylus device into your nose and uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt the function of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN), which is the nerve that triggers your rhinitis.

Our team will monitor you at the office for at least an hour after the procedure before sending you home with post-procedure activity and care guidelines.

Most Washington patients experience a significant improvement in symptoms within six months after the procedure, having long-term results.
