Rhinitis (non-stop PND), allergic or otherwise

Been dealing with this since 2023. Am going in next month at Mayo, Rochester for a RhinAer procedure, targeted localized ablation of the posterior nasal nerve. Anybody else out there experiencing chronic rhinitis with pnd? Really bad at night.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Yes, I have kleenex with me whenever I eat or sleep. I had head and neck cancer and radiation treatments. I wondered if some of that affects me now. Also, I had covid once, a year ago. I have completely changed with the stuffed up head and rhinitis. Much worse. I decided it might be a long Covid type of problem. I also have autoimmune illness and my eosiniphils are high. All this and I just cope. Plus I remember my grandmother had it too!?
Good luck with your treatment and hope you heal, get some answers out of it. Let us know!

I have been dealing with non stop rhinitis (non-stop mucus stuck in Throat) since Nov 2023 accompanied with right sided facial and eye pain. After 2 years of failed nasal sprays, meds, deviated septum surgery (septoplasty) in 11/25 and cryotherapy Clarifix procedure in Dec 25, Concluded that tje condition were never sinus related. All MRI, CT scans were negative. ChatGPT led me to SPG (Sangopalitone ganglion). Nerve block that triggers the mucus and facial pain. I relate it to a concussion from 2021 which began the headaches off and on. In 2023, a sever case of flu and covid had me congested with headaches to present. I found a pain doctor who has done 2 SPG nerve blocks and had positive response and only relief ever felt. I am seeking Mayo referral but will continue these nerve blocks. Advice—- research SPG Nerve Blocks. Hope this helps. It has been BRUTAL
