Thank you for the explanation, doctor. Your explanation is much clearer than my doctor. I am not taking oral prednisolone for 2 weeks and antihistamine with daily nasal irrigation twice. If the condition is not improving after 1 month, my doctor suggested me to go for radiofrequency turbinate reduction.

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?

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

@ghanshyaamramkissoon3207 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this nice explanation. I think I have enlarged turbinates in both holes of my nose. The cause of it I don't know. I think I am allergic to inhaling cigarette smoke from others... I never called it allergy though. I was young so from time to time it happens. But then lateron during and after a flu, I still cannot breathe. The otrivine nasal drops or sprays helped a lot... so I can live my everyday life normally. I also have sleep apnea meaning during sleep I suddenly cannot breathe through my nose and my mouth will not respond to breathe. So I get nightmares all the time. But the real cause of swollen turbinates is unknown. I need to breathe, so I need to keep using the nasal drops. Saline solutions do not help. If you advice me to stop using the otrivine nasal drops accordingly... and the swelling of the turbinates continue at daily basis... means I have to get surgery or breathe my mouth all the time. I am very fatigued overtime to see a doctor... so I needed to help myself. So I can breathe. But the cause is till unknown and no doctor wants to help.

@SinusDoctor1 Жыл бұрын

Hi, I understand your struggle with nasal congestion and sleep apnea. It's crucial, though, to avoid long-term self-medication as it can lead to complications. As an ENT specialist, I strongly recommend seeking professional medical help. They can identify the root cause of your symptoms and provide targeted treatment, which may not necessarily involve surgery. I know you're feeling tired and frustrated, but don't lose hope. There are doctors who can help. Your health is worth it.

Hi doctor, my daughter is 4 years old and suffering from enlarged turbinates, and because of that gets fluid and swelling in her eardrum and suffers from moderate hearing loss. The doctor has advised her to use the steroid spray (mometasone). Wanted to know how long can we use the steroid which doesn't affect my daughter in the future. And is it a way we can treat her hearing loss issue? Which arrives almost every month from September 2022.

@SinusDoctor1 Жыл бұрын

Hi, your doctor must have checked for adenoids. He should have suggested nasal sprays to tackle allergies. The only way to tackle allergies is avoidance and regular anti-allergic medication. Spray delivery in correct way and gargling well after nasal spray is important to avoid any possible side effects of nasal spray. You may consult your doctor for more detailed evaluation.

Hi, turbinate is not a muscle, you cannot strengthen it. To avoid it from increasing in size, you have to avoid allergies and irritant exposure.

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.
