Consult Our Nose SpecialistFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Nose Conditions
How do I know if something is wrong with my nose?
There may be something wrong with your nose if nasal symptoms keep coming back or don’t improve despite rest or medication. Recurring issues may indicate an underlying nose or sinus condition that needs proper assessment by a nose specialist. Common warning signs include a persistent blocked nose, frequent sinus infections, ongoing post-nasal drip, nosebleeds, facial pressure, reduced sense of smell, or noisy breathing at night.
What services do nose specialists provide?
Nose specialists (ENT doctors) diagnose and treat a wide range of nasal and sinus conditions. Services commonly include consultation and examination, nasal endoscopy, allergy evaluation, medical treatment for sinus and nasal inflammation, and management of nasal blockage. They may also provide procedures such as treatment for nosebleeds, removal of nasal polyps, septoplasty (straightening a deviated septum), turbinate reduction, and sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis when needed.
Can children see an ENT specialist in Singapore for nose and sinus problems?
Yes. Many ENT specialists in Singapore treat both adults and children, including common paediatric nose and sinus conditions. Children may see a nose specialist for persistent nasal congestion, recurrent sinus infections, allergies, snoring, mouth breathing, or frequent nosebleeds.
Will nose surgery improve my breathing and snoring?
Nose surgery can improve snoring or breathing issues that are caused by nasal blockage, using procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or sinus surgery. This may lead to better sleep quality and reduced snoring for some patients. However, snoring can also come from other areas like the throat or tongue, so an ENT assessment is important to determine whether nose surgery is likely to help in your specific case.
What conditions are treated by nose specialists in Singapore?
Nose specialists in Singapore treat a wide range of nasal and sinus conditions, including sinusitis, rhinitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, nosebleeds, and loss of smell. They also manage nose-related injuries such as nasal fractures, and may provide care for related airway conditions like bronchitis and asthma, especially when symptoms overlap with ENT concerns.
