Hello! I had a CT Sinus done & was told by my ENT that I have Chronic Sinusitis. I followed up with my ENT yesterday & she looked up my nose & said that my turbinates are swollen/inflamed. My BIGGEST complaint is my stuffy nose. My ENT offered me (2) solutions with fixing my stuffy nose & those solutions were surgery, where she’ll go up my nose & open/expand my nasal passages more or a turbinate reduction procedure. She is referring me to a Rhinologist for a second opinion. My ENT doesn’t want to go straight to surgery bc she said my Chronic Sinusitis isn’t bad enough (in her opinion) for surgery. I would like to mention that I had the Flu in Nov 2022 & I got COVID-19 in Feb 2023. So, she’s thinking that the flu & COVID could have made things worse for me. My question is, other than surgery, what are other ways that can help reduce turbinate swelling? Or does it depend on what is causing the swelling?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, your ENT doctor is right. Please use medications suggested. Identification of cause for turbinate enlargement is equally important. Surgery is last resort if you do not respond well to medications.

Hello, doctor. I’ve been dealing with allergic rhinitis, mild sinusitis, and hypertrophy of the inferior bilateral turbinates, mainly on the right side. I also have a deviated nasal septum towards the left, which causes frequent nasal blockage, throat infections, and facial pain, especially during seasonal changes. Despite various treatments, these symptoms persist throughout the year, and I experience recurrent infections with noticeable turbinate enlargement.

Dear doctor, thank for your very informative video, last year I used for two months oxymetazoline and I stopped using it, so Im wondering is it enough time to be prone to hypertrophic turbinate together with low humidity winter?, my problem started last winter and at that time I have diagnosed with mite allergy and since then I cannot breath even taking allergy medicaments well. Yesterday an ETN have diagnosed I have hypertrophic turbinate

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, It's possible that the use of oxymetazoline, alongside the low humidity of winter, contributed to your current nasal congestion. Generally, using oxymetazoline for only two months would be unlikely to cause a significant long-term change in your nasal tissue. If your current allergy medication isn't helping, it might be worthwhile discussing other treatment options with your doctor. This could include strategies to manage your mite allergy, other medications, or potential surgical interventions for your hypertrophied turbinates.

I have large turbinate that block my airway and post nasal drip in and out that I choke from my nose/throat. Also feel mucus stuck in my throat that I can’t clear out. Also have cobblestones in the throat with tonsils not looking good. They gave me 2 nasal sprays Ipratropium bromide 21mcg and fluticasone propionate 50 mcg but not resolving anything what do you recommend?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, please get a CT scan PNS done to check for any sinus issues. GERD is a cause we have to rule out.

I have difficulty in breathing which mainly happens at night when i am sleeping or in morning when i wake up . There is slight tickle in my throat then i cough one time and then for few seconds(30-45seconds) i struggles to breath both from nose and mouth. My chest x ray was normal,2 d echo was normal ultrasound was normal and i have a daviated nasal septum So i want to know why this is happening? And what's is cure i have taken m-life(10+20mg and fluticosone furate nasal spray) as recommended by doctor but this problem is not going

Hi, We will have to check you physically to understand what is happening. Deviated nasal septum cannot cause these symptoms

[@yl7698]

What shall be the approach 1. Middle concha bullosa, FESS side for OMC block ? 2. inferior turbinoplasty ( unilateral or both inferior turbinoplasties ? 3. Method for turbinoplasties? ( microdebrider or SMR or radiofrequency or ) . Extraturbinoplsty or intrturbinoplasty ) . Bony resection ? 4. Objective evaluation with acoustic rhinomannometry pre and post surgery ? 5. *ENS chances* ? In this regard, Your experience with inferior turbinates . To touch or not .

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, 1. Cannot understand your question 2. I perform turbinonplasty based on the need. Usually on both sides 3. You can see my technique in any of the surgical videos i have already posted 4. We use rhinomanometry in very selective cases. Never had a need to do post op as patients are happy with results 5. I personally don’t have any of my patients getting ENS. I have been following the same technique for the last 10 years

Hi sir b/l. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy how to slove without surgery

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, identify irritants and allergens and avoid them. Meet your nearby ENT doctor for detailed evaluation.

[@Amansingh-ui9il]

Sir can turbinates expand further during night or laying in bed or on plane?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, exposure to allergens or irritants can cause increase in the size of turbinates.

[@Lander76]

Hi Doc, can the heat from RF reduction cause damage to the mucosa and nerves in the turbinates? If so, does it occur often?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, yes it will happen but if RF application is properly done, no significant changes will be seen from patient perspective.

Sir my turbinates alternatively change their size. Left one swells the right become fully open and vice versa. The one that swells doest close fully. Like I can still breath from it but the air flow is like 80 % from one and 20% from second one. And the size changes happen every 3 hours.

Hi, this happens for everyone, it is called nasal cycle. However nose block is not felt normally. Please meet your nearby ENT for evaluation.
