Common nose and sinus problems we treat
- Blocked or stuffy nose — from allergy, deviated septum, or swelling inside the nose.
- Sinusitis — short-term and long-term sinus infections causing facial pain, pressure and congestion.
- Nasal allergy (allergic rhinitis) — sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes.
- Nosebleeds — investigation and treatment of recurrent nosebleeds.
- Loss of smell — assessment of reduced or lost sense of smell.
- Snoring and blocked breathing — assessment of nasal causes of snoring.
- Nasal polyps — diagnosis with endoscopy and treatment.
- Sinus and nasal tumours — examination and biopsy where needed.
How we diagnose
We use nasoendoscopy — a thin camera passed gently into the nose — to find the exact cause of congestion, sinus pain, nosebleeds or growths. This gives a far more accurate picture than an outside examination alone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my blocked nose needs an ENT?
If a blocked nose lasts more than a few weeks, only affects one side, comes with facial pain, or returns repeatedly, see an ENT.
What is sinusitis and how is it treated?
Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. It’s treated with medication first; if it keeps returning, endoscopic assessment and sometimes surgery may help.
Can you treat snoring?
Yes — we assess nasal and throat causes of snoring and discuss suitable treatment.
