Nasal Obstruction and Deviated Nasal Septum Treatment

Nasal obstruction is a condition where the nasal passages are blocked or restricted, making it difficult to breathe through the nose. This can be caused by various issues, such as chronic rhinitis, nasal polyps, or swollen tissues.

A deviated nasal septum occurs when the thin wall of bone and cartilage between the nasal passages (the septum) is displaced to one side. This misalignment can block one or both nasal passages, leading to difficulty breathing, congestion, and frequent sinus infections.

Dr. Sakshi Chawla, a skilled ENT specialist, offers effective treatment for nasal obstruction and deviated nasal septum, conditions that can significantly impact breathing and overall quality of life. Nasal obstruction, often caused by conditions such as chronic rhinitis or nasal polyps, leads to difficulty in breathing through the nose, congestion, and sinus infections. A deviated nasal septum, where the thin wall between the nasal passages is displaced, can exacerbate these symptoms and contribute to snoring and sleep disturbances.

Dr. Chawla conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including physical examinations and imaging, to determine the underlying causes of nasal obstruction. Treatment options may range from medications, such as nasal sprays and antihistamines, to non-surgical interventions like nasal decongestants or allergy management. For more severe cases, Dr. Chawla may recommend a surgical procedure, such as septoplasty, to correct the deviated septum and improve airflow. Her approach is tailored to address the specific needs of each patient, aiming to restore comfortable and unobstructed nasal breathing.
