What is Chronic Rhinitis?

“Rhinos” means “nose,” while “itis” means “inflammation of.” This combines to “inflammation of the nose.”

“Chronic” indicates a prolonged condition. 

More specifically, your nasal mucosa (a fancy term for nasal lining) becomes inflamed since unbalanced nerves signal for unnecessary inflammatory cells resulting in congestion and excess mucous production.

Thus, coughing, sneezing, congestion, and mucus ensue.  

Many factors can trigger chronic rhinitis, such as:

• Dust
• Smog
• Chemicals
• Viral infections
• Hot or spicy foods
• Alcohol
• Aspirin
• Ibuprofen
• High blood pressure medication
• Sedatives
• Oral contraceptives
• Antidepressants
• Erectile dysfunction drugs
• Hormone changes or imbalances
• Sleep apnea & acid reflux

Remember to check with a medical professional about any questions or concerns!

What is ClariFix?

The ClariFix procedure uses special cryotherapy, or freezing, techniques to target the irritated nasal lining and respective nerves. Such treatment briefly barricades pathways that nerves use to signal other inflammatory cells. Freezing also soothes inflammation, reducing pain and mucous production. 

ClariFix patient reviews show about 80% experiencing long-lasting or semi-permanent relief. 

Furthermore, you can expect to leave the doctor’s office within an hour, like many other minimally-invasive ear-nose-and-throat surgeries.

ClariFix reviews also vouch for a painless procedure with lasting results.

You can expect symptoms to improve 2–6 weeks following treatment. 

Recovery takes about 1 day with mild side effects. Side effects include:

• Headache

Consult a medical professional if any complications arise.
