Nose and Sinus Problems
The nose and sinuses play an essential role in breathing, filtering air, and maintaining overall health. When problems arise in this area, they can significantly affect a person’s quality of life, causing discomfort and difficulty in daily activities.
At ENT Surrey, we specialise in diagnosing and treating a range of nasal and sinus conditions, including:
Chronic Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become inflamed and blocked for extended periods. Symptoms can include nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, it can lead to recurrent infections or other complications.
Deviated Nasal Septum
A deviated septum is a condition in which the thin wall (nasal septum) between your nasal passages is displaced to one side. This can cause breathing difficulties, nasal obstruction, and chronic sinus infections. We can perform corrective surgery (nasal septoplasty) to improve airflow and alleviate symptoms.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths that develop inside the nasal passages or sinuses, often due to chronic inflammation. These can lead to a blocked nose, reduced sense of smell, and recurring infections. We offer advanced treatments to remove polyps and prevent their recurrence.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis occurs when your immune system reacts to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander, causing symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and itching. Our team can help manage allergies through advice about allergen avoidance, medications or surgery. We can provide skin prick allergy testing in children via our partners at Paediatric Diagnostics
