As far as I know, no one does cryosurgery on the nose/turbinates any more.
It caused severe necrosis of the nasal cilia and the depth of destruction
couldn't be controlled.
Vaomotor rhinitis simply means over acive nerve response of the nose.
If you MUST have something, that's a good choice - it washes away the
bacteria.
There are various treatments that work and your own doctor can suggest the
best for you.

I did discuss this with my doctor and he was only able to suggest
atrovent and astelin. He suggested that I do nasal washes with the
product provided by Neilmed (www.neilmed.com), but I decided to
purchase a Grossan Hydropulse. Thus far, the Grossan hydropulse has
helped me feel much better than anything I 've used. If there are
other treatments besides these, I would love to be pointed in the right
direction.
I can understand that this might seem like a simple problem to someone
who does not suffer from it but my nose literally runs like water
sometimes. If I bend over, I'm always afraid that something might
unexpectedly come running out.
By the way, Dr Grossan,

Astelin is a good product to try for vasomotor rhinitis as is Atrovent. If
thse don't work, Somnopplasty or injecting Kenalog into the turbinate are
procedures that we do. Each doctor has individual preferences for how he
approaches this problem.
If all else fails, the nerve to that area can be severed.
