A persistent runny nose can interrupt your daily routine, and it’s particularly frustrating if medication does not help your symptoms. One option for finding relief is RhinAer, which targets nerves in the nose to reduce the production of unwanted mucus and shrinks inflamed tissue to relieve congestion. This procedure was approved by the FDA in 2019.
88% of RhinAer patients experienced a significant reduction in their chronic rhinitis symptoms. Our team at Breathe ENT can work with you to determine if this procedure would be a good fit and help you get started.
Who Benefits from RhinAer?
RhinAer may be a good option for patients who:
- Experience moderate-to-severe chronic runny nose, post-nasal drip, congestion or chronic clearing of the throat
- Have had Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) but still experience rhinitis symptoms
- Don’t find relief from symptoms after taking sinus medications
- Are 22 years or older
What Happens During the Procedure?
RhinAer can be completed in our office. Your doctor will numb the interior of your nose with local anesthesia before inserting the RhinAer wand into your nostril.
Once this process is complete, you’ll be able to return to your daily routine with minimal to no downtime.
What Results Can I Expect?
Patients who were treated with RhinAer experienced significant improvements in the following:
- Runny nose and nasal congestion
- Nasal and throat itching and sneezing
- Post-nasal drip
- Chronic cough
- Quality of life
Uncomfortable rhinitis symptoms don’t have to be a regular part of your life. Our providers at Breathe ENT can help you find relief so you’re not distracted from the daily activities that mean the most to you.
