What Is Enlarged Nasal Turbinates Treatment?

This specialized ENT care addresses turbinate hypertrophy, where swollen nasal turbinates obstruct airflow. Caused by allergies, sinusitis, or structural issues, treatments include steroid sprays, antihistamines, or minimally invasive surgeries like turbinoplasty or coblation. These interventions reduce turbinate size, clear blockages, and improve breathing. Administered by skilled specialists, they offer effective, tailored relief for nasal congestion and related symptoms.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process starts with a nasal examination, often including endoscopy or CT scans, to assess turbinate size and related issues. Treatments like steroid sprays or saline irrigation are prescribed, or minimally invasive surgeries (turbinoplasty, coblation, or septoplasty) are performed under local or general anesthesia. Sessions last 30–60 minutes, tailored to reduce turbinates and restore clear breathing.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-treatment, mild congestion or soreness may occur, typically resolving within 1–7 days. Follow aftercare, such as saline rinses or avoiding irritants. Non-surgical treatments allow immediate activity resumption, while surgical procedures may require a few days of rest. Breathing improves within days, with full clarity emerging over weeks. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal recovery and sustained relief.
