What Is Nasal Allergy Treatment?

This specialized ENT care targets allergic rhinitis, addressing symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and postnasal drip. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) desensitizes the immune system with safe, at-home doses, while cryotherapy neutralizes nasal nerve activity for permanent relief. These non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments reduce reliance on medications, offering effective, long-term solutions for allergies caused by environmental triggers like pollen or dust.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process begins with a detailed allergy assessment. For SLIT, allergen drops are prescribed for daily at-home use under the tongue. Cryotherapy, performed under local or general anesthesia, targets nasal nerves to reduce symptoms. Sessions, whether for initiating SLIT or cryotherapy, typically last 15–60 minutes, tailored to your allergy profile for optimal relief and comfort.

What to Expect During Recovery

SLIT requires no recovery, with gradual symptom relief over weeks. Cryotherapy may cause mild nasal soreness or congestion, resolving within 1–3 days. Follow aftercare, such as avoiding irritants or using saline rinses. Most patients resume activities immediately, with allergy relief emerging within weeks and full benefits, like clear breathing, developing over months with consistent treatment.
