Turbinate hypertrophy can improve with nasal steroids and antihistamines. Persistent cases may need turbinate reduction surgery.

View allMy nose is almost always blocked and I use otrivin every day. Doctors say I have a swollen nose bone and need minor surgery, but is there any other option? I feel like I might be addicted to otrivin what should I do?
Your nose blockage, Otrivin overuse, and a swollen nose bone that requires minor surgery are all connected issues. The frequent use of Otrivin, a nasal decongestant, can lead to rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa), where the nasal passages become more swollen and congested when the medication's effect wears off. This prolonged congestion can also lead to structural changes, such as a swollen nose bone, which may require surgery to correct.

I'm really worried because I've had this lump feeling in the back of my throat and mouth for about three months now. I've also noticed some white spots back there. My doctor mentioned it could be pharyngitis, but even after three months of medication, that feeling hasnt gone away. Now I've started having neck and back pain, and there's this weird sweet and sour taste in my mouth. Im feeling pretty confused and scared about all this. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

I'm having trouble taking a deep breath; it feels like something's blocking the air near my throat. I saw a pulmonologist and had a PFT test, which came back normal. The doctor prescribed a deltone tablet, but after a week, there's no improvement. I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any guidance on what might be going on. How can I start breathing freely again?
do regular breathing
