"Treatment Option Can Help Patients Freeze Their Allergies Away" - Lauren Glassberg
With the rain and warmer temperatures, comes the sniffing and sneezing of the dreaded allergy season. If the usual pills and sprays aren't enough, there's another treatment option that could actually freeze your allergies away. "It's a device that uses cryotherapy," said Gregory Levitin, MD, senior faculty of otolaryngology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "And cryotherapy or freezing basically scars down the nerve that is sometimes hyperactive and by hyperactive it can make people feel extra congestion, extra mucus, extra post nasal drip."
