Nasal Obstruction
Nonsurgical Treatment The nose is a passageway for air into your lungs
and through tiny openings into your sinuses. If the nasal passageways
are bent and deformed, air does not get through. Surgery is indicated
for nasal obstruction of a mechanical nature. Environmental allergies
however can cause nasal linings to swell (allergic rhinitis). If you have
a marginal airway, even a slight amount of swelling can be too much and
close off your nose or sinus openings. Not all nasal and sinus obstruction
have mechanical causes. If your problems are environmental, medical treatment
is the way to start. Dr. Bermant asks all of his nasal obstruction patients
extensive questions just to find out this information. After learning
this history, a thorough examination will help determine recommended treatment.

Right® nasal strips
Site featuring those nasal strips seen on many athlete's noses. Interesting
information about nasal obstruction and snoring. If these strips help
your breathing, you may have a problem with your internal nasal valve
or other cause of mechanical obstruction. Have your nasal obstruction
evaluated by your nasal surgeon.
Nosovent
"Anti-Snoring Device"
Piece of plastic that company claims to push nose open from inside. If
this plastic can help your breathing you may have a mechanical obstruction
from the septum or internal nasal valves that can be treated with surgery.
Many with nasal obstruction have an environmental component. This plastic
piece may increase the irritation of such problems.
