Constantly Runny Nose?
It May Be Chronic Rhinitis
Constantly Irritated, Stuffy, and Runny Nose - Is This You?
A single runny nose is normally a minor inconvenience. After a few sniffles and a facial tissue or two, the runny nose will likely resolve. However, chronic rhinitis sufferers know that a constant runny nose is a troubling, frustrating, and irritating problem.
What chronic rhinitis sufferers may not know is that the condition is often an alarming signal that something more serious than a basic cold or minor runny nose is the true issue. There is likely a reason the inflammation in your nose refuses to go away.

Will your runny nose ever come to an end? What chronic rhinitis is and how to stop it.
An occasional runny nose is common, but it should never be constant. When your nose continues to run for weeks, months, or even years, it becomes clear that the cause is not being addressed. When the cause of your rhinitis is not addressed, there is no end to your suffering in sight and you may begin to lose hope.
Rhinitis is when the inner lining of your nose is inflamed. Chronic rhinitis is a runny nose (inflammation) and related symptoms that continue for at least four straight weeks. If left untreated, your chronic rhinitis may continue for months or years.

The Causes of Chronic Rhinitis
Rhinitis is classified as either allergic or non-allergic, meaning the cause of rhinitis is allergies (an allergic reaction) or non-allergic.
Common allergies that trigger chronic rhinitis include:
- Mold
- Ragweed
- Pets (dander)
- Mites
- Pollen
Non-allergic causes include:
- Chronic sinusitis
- Smoking
- Stress
- Irritants (fragrances, cleaning products, etc.)
- Pregnancy
- Prescription Medications
The exact cause of your non-allergic chronic rhinitis may be determined with the help of an ENT. The cause of your rhinitis may also dictate the type of treatment you will receive, whether RhinAer™, surgery, or an alternative treatment option.
