In this work, we study effects of magnon interactions in the excitation spectrum of CoNbO in the quantum paramagnetic phase in transverse field, where the spin-wave theory exhibits unphysical divergences at the critical field. We propose a self-consistent Hartree-Fock approach that eliminates such unphysical singularities while preserving the integrity of the singular threshold phenomena of magnon decay and spectrum renormalization that are present in both theory and experiment. With the microscopic parameters adopted from previous studies, this method yields a close quantitative agreement with the available experimental data for CoNbO in the relevant regime. Insights into the general structure of the spin-anisotropic model of CoNbO and related zigzag chain materials are also provided and a discussion of the effects of additional longitudinal field on the spectrum is given.
