ClariFix® for Chronic Rhinitis: Get Lasting Relief from a Constant Runny Nose
Why Does My Nose Run Constantly?
If you experience a runny nose throughout the day, you may be dealing with a condition known as rhinorrhea. While most people experience a runny nose occasionally, millions of Americans suffer from nasal congestion and rhinorrhea that severely impacts their daily lives. If your nose is constantly dripping, it might be time to seek treatment from the ear, nose, and throat experts at Collier Otolaryngology.
What is Rhinorrhea?
Rhinorrhea is more than just a runny nose. It’s a condition where your body’s respiratory tract produces excess mucus in response to various triggers, ranging from viral infections to acute sinusitis. For some, the symptoms are temporary, but for others, chronic rhinorrhea becomes a persistent issue.
Patients with chronic rhinitis often suffer from a constant runny nose without any clear cause. This condition can lead to nasal congestion and rhinorrhea, sleep disruption, and even physical discomfort.
Factors That Can Trigger a Runny Nose?
- Cold Weather: Your body produces extra mucus to keep your nasal passage warm and moist in cold conditions
- Medication side effects: Certain medications can cause rhinitis medicamentosa, leading to excess mucus and nasal congestion
- Common Cold or Flu: Viral infections of the respiratory tract can fill your nasal passage with mucus
- Allergies and Sinusitis: During an allergy attack or acute sinusitis, your body reacts by producing more mucus
- Chronic Rhinitis: For those with chronic rhinitis, overactive nerve cells lead to excess mucus production without obvious triggers
Chronic Rhinitis affects over 24 million people in the U.S. [1]
Rhinorrhea Treatment Options: You don’t have to live with a runny nose
If you’re tired of dealing with a constant runny nose, several treatment options are available:
- Natural Remedies: Stay hydrated, use saline sprays, and avoid known allergens to reduce symptoms
- Medication: Over-the-counter decongestants, nasal sprays, or prescription medications can help manage nasal congestion and rhinorrhea
- Surgical Options: In rare cases, surgery may be required to address physical issues like a deviated septum or persistent infections
The ClariFix® Solution: Long-Lasting Relief for Chronic Rhinitis
For patients who find no relief from traditional treatments, the ClariFix® procedure offers a new approach. ClariFix® is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that targets the root cause of chronic rhinitis. By cooling the overactive nasal nerves, ClariFix® takes about 15 minutes and reduces the production of excess mucus, providing lasting relief from constant runny nose and nasal congestion.
How Does the ClariFix® Procedure Work?
The ClariFix® procedure uses cryotherapy, a technique that has been safely used in medical treatments for decades. By applying cold temperatures to the overactive nerves in the nose, ClariFix® effectively reduces nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. This FDA-cleared procedure is performed in-office, making it a convenient and effective option for those suffering from chronic rhinitis.
