Nasal Obstruction - Cost, Hospital, Treatment

Nasal obstruction hinder the flow of air from the nose and causes breathing difficulty. The obstruction may block one or both the nasal passages. It can be caused by structural problems of the nose like enlarged adenoids, nasal polyps, deviated septum and other causes like sinusitis, allergies, overuse of nasal spray, etc.

Treatment ranges from medication to different surgeries. If the cause is allergic, then can be treated by medication. Also Decongestants, corticosteroids and antihistamines can be used to alleviate the symptoms of nasal obstruction. If the cause of obstruction is structural, then surgery is required. It can be treated through somnoplasty, turbinate reduction surgery, septoplasty, or adenoidectomy. Somnoplasty uses radiofrequency probes to reduce nasal tissue in the case of enlarged turbinates (structures on the side of the nose). Turbinate reduction surgery involves removing some tissue from the turbinates to increase airflow. Septoplasty involves correcting a deviated septum, also allowing for increased airflow. Finally, in adenoidectomy, the adenoids can be removed, which can help reduce the nasal obstruction.
