At our Rhinology Clinic we know how to identify the origin of the problem and apply appropriate treatment in each case.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Rhinitis is the inflammation of the nasal mucosa and turbinates. The turbinates are a thickening of the lining used to heat the air and modulate resistance to the passage of air.\u00a0Sinusitis is the inflammation of the lining of the paranasal sinuses. When a person suffers both sinusitis and rhinitis we call this rhinosinusitis.\r\n\r\nNasal polyps are an exaggerated manifestation of rhinitis or sinusitis, or both.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;no_paddings&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1594634143304{background-color: #282828 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;884&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1592492131507{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIyYXB0MSUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmElM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1594634008671{background-color: #282828 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;tab_paddings&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;medium_text text_blanc super_big&#8221;]Do you recognize any of these symptoms?[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;medium_text text_blanc&#8221;]You may have rhinitis, sinusitis or nasal polyps if: your nose is often blocked, you sneeze frequently and without apparent cause, have an itchy nose, you have frequent episodes of congestion, nasal drip or mucous, you often have a cold and headache, you have pharyngeal dryness, cough or tearing, you have trouble sleeping, you suffer from disorders of smell or taste, you have persistent fever that does not respond to usual treatment, you notice changes in your character after suffering any of these symptoms\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text_blanc&#8221;]Because these symptoms resemble those of a cold or an allergic process, many people do not pay attention to them.
