Nasal Obstruction
Nonsurgical Treatment The nose is a passageway for air into your lungs and through tiny openings into your sinuses. If the nasal passageways are bent and deformed, air does not get through. Surgery is indicated for nasal obstruction of a mechanical nature. Environmental allergies however can cause nasal linings to swell (allergic rhinitis). If you have a marginal airway, even a slight amount of swelling can be too much and close off your nose or sinus openings. Not all nasal and sinus obstruction have mechanical causes. If your problems are environmental, medical treatment is the way to start. Dr. Bermant asks all of his nasal obstruction patients extensive questions just to find out this information. After learning this history, a thorough examination will help determine recommended treatment.
