Chronic rhinitis is a long-lasting condition characterized by frequent nasal inflammation, causing symptoms like congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. This condition can be triggered by allergies, infections, or environmental factors and often affects people in Boca Raton and similar climates. Those who suffer from chronic rhinitis may find their daily life disrupted by ongoing discomfort. At NSIBR, our specialists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating chronic rhinitis, offering tailored surgical options to help patients regain their quality of life.
Allergic rhinitis occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander. This leads to sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis can both significantly impact your daily activities. At NSIBR, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment to manage allergic rhinitis effectively.
Non-allergic rhinitis is triggered by irritants, hormonal changes, or medications rather than allergens. Symptoms are similar to allergic rhinitis but without the immune system’s involvement. Non-allergic rhinitis can be particularly challenging to manage, but our team at NSIBR provides advanced treatment options to help you find relief.
Atrophic rhinitis symptoms include persistent nasal dryness, thick crusting within the nasal passages, and a chronic foul odor. Some patients may also experience frequent nosebleeds, reduced sense of smell, and difficulty breathing due to hardened mucus. Our innovative medical and surgical approaches focus on restoring nasal function and alleviating symptoms.
This condition can cause various symptoms that affect your quality of life. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for proper rhinitis diagnosis and treatment. Common symptoms include:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, NSIBR offers personalized treatments to address the underlying cause of your rhinitis and help you breathe easier. Explore our available treatment options to restore comfort and improve your daily life.
NSIBR offers a range of surgeries designed to address chronic rhinitis. These surgical options target the underlying causes of nasal inflammation and obstruction, providing long-term relief for patients suffering from chronic rhinitis. Whether you need medical nasal drainage treatment, a more advanced balloon sinuplasty, or a combination of techniques, our surgeons are skilled in providing customized care.
Ideal candidates for non-surgical rhinitis treatments are those experiencing mild to moderate symptoms that can be managed with medical therapies like medications or lifestyle adjustments. If non-surgical interventions fail to provide relief, surgical options may be considered. Candidates for surgical rhinitis treatments include:
Both non-surgical and surgical treatments for rhinitis offer different recovery timelines and results. Our non-surgical options such as medications or nasal sprays often provide temporary relief, and some may require regular use or “top-ups” to maintain effectiveness. Recovery is immediate with no downtime, but long-term management may be necessary depending on the severity of the condition.
Rhinitis surgical treatment, however, generally involves light anesthesia to ensure comfort. Some mild swelling and discomfort may be experienced after surgery. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients resuming daily activities within 24 hours. Our surgical solutions often provide long-lasting relief from chronic symptoms, though results may vary based on individual conditions. Regular follow-up care ensures optimal healing, and while some patients enjoy permanent improvement, others might require periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the results. Our pre-surgery guidelines may include avoiding certain medications and fasting, while post-surgery care will focus on managing swelling and ensuring a smooth recovery.
Rhinitis can cause great discomfort and affect everyday life experiences and interactions. Our treatment options offer several benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life:

Rhinitis surgery results can last for many years, significantly improving your symptoms. However, the duration of relief may vary depending on the underlying cause and adherence to post-surgery care.
Rhinitis surgery is typically recommended for patients who have fully developed nasal structures, generally in late adolescence. Younger patients may be considered in severe cases.
Insurance coverage for rhinitis surgery varies by plan. It’s essential to consult with your insurance provider and NSIBR to understand your coverage options and any out-of-pocket costs.
While surgery can significantly improve symptoms, there is no guarantee against future rhinitis. Post-surgery care and follow-up are crucial to minimizing the risk of recurrence. Also, working with an experienced, and very well-qualified team of medical professionals, like the Nose and Sinus Institute of Boca Raton.
