If you’ve been struggling with chronic congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, or nasal irritation and traditional allergy treatments haven’t fully helped, you may need a more advanced evaluation. At AIR Care, we believe patients deserve precise answers — not just temporary symptom relief.
That’s why Richard Herrscher, MD offers Nasal Cytology, an advanced diagnostic procedure that helps uncover the true cause of chronic nasal symptoms. In fact, Dr. Herrscher is currently the only provider in DFW performing Nasal Cytology.
For patients searching for a trusted DFW allergy specialist or an experienced allergist in Plano, this innovative testing can provide clarity when standard evaluations leave questions unanswered.
What Is Nasal Cytology?
Nasal Cytology is a specialized diagnostic test that examines the cells inside the nasal passages under a microscope. By analyzing these cells, physicians can identify specific inflammatory patterns and determine what may be triggering chronic nasal symptoms.
Unlike traditional allergy testing alone, Nasal Cytology provides a closer look at what is actively happening inside the nose at a cellular level.
This allows physicians to distinguish between:
- Allergic rhinitis
- Non-allergic rhinitis
- Eosinophilic inflammation
- Chronic nasal irritation
- Infectious processes
- Mixed inflammatory conditions
For many patients, especially those with persistent symptoms despite treatment, Nasal Cytology can provide the missing piece of the puzzle.

Why Nasal Cytology Matters
Many patients are told they simply “have allergies” when their symptoms may actually be caused by several overlapping conditions. Others continue taking medications that only partially relieve symptoms because the underlying source of inflammation hasn’t been fully identified.
Nasal Cytology helps create a more targeted and personalized treatment plan by identifying the exact type of inflammation present.
This advanced approach may help patients who experience:
- Chronic congestion
- Persistent runny nose
- Post-nasal drip
- Frequent sinus pressure
- Sneezing
- Nasal burning or irritation
- Symptoms that do not improve with medications
- Year-round nasal symptoms
- Negative allergy tests despite ongoing symptoms
Patients suffering from chronic environmental allergies may also benefit from exploring AIR Care’s Immunotherapy services, which are designed to provide long-term allergy relief.
