Croup is a common breathing problem in young children, usually during cold weathers. The main symptoms for croup are harsh, barking coughs while having breathing difficulties, due to the swelling and narrowing in the voice box, windpipe, and breathing tubes leading to the lungs.Croup can be treated with nose drops or medications, but it is important to have a specialist doctor diagnose the condition correctly before administering any medications.
Breathing difficulties can stem from several different causes, including chronic sinusitis, allergies, or asthma. Treatments to solve breathing difficulties depend on the cause of the issue.Some symptoms of breathing difficulties include:Nasal congestionRunny noseItchy or watery eyeschest congestioncoughweezinglaboured breathingshallow breathingA precise diagnosis by a specialist doctor is important so that the right treatment can be administered.
A nose fracture, or a broken nose, is a crack on the bone or cartilage of your nose. This can be caused by accidents, physical sports, or injuries and traumas.Nose fractures can be treated by realigning the bone. In severe cases, surgery or rhinoplasty to reshape the bone may be needed.
Nose surgery, or rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure done to improve the shape, size or angle of a nose, to fit it into a more desirable proportion with the rest of your face. Sometimes, rhinoplasty is also done to correct structural problems with the nose that cause chronic congestion and breathing problems. Rhinoplasty usually involves the sculpting of bone and cartilage on the nose. Bones and cartilage may be removed, or tissues may be added in, all to enhance the shape of your nose. In Asia, the common trend is to fix our nose into a longer shape, and to refine our nose tip. Rhinoplasty can be done to: -To make your nose smaller (nose reduction) -To make your nose larger (nose augmentation) -To change your nose shape -To change the angle between the nose and top lip -To correct structural problems with the nose that cause chronic congestion and breathing problems -To repair deformities from an injury -To repair a birth defect
Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is a type of nose inflammation, as a result of overreaction by our immune system towards the allergens in the air like pollen or dust.Some symptoms of allergic rhinitis include runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, or swollen eyes.Treatments for allergic rhinitis usually include medications or allergic reliefs like nasal spray.
Nose allergy can be caused by our body's immune system's overreaction towards allergens in the air like dust or pollen. Symptoms of nose allergy include runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, red or watery eyes, or swollen eyes.A nose allergy test helps your doctor determine the allergen you are allergic to, so that suitable treatments can be planned.
There can be a few different factors that cause nasal obstruction, including a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, or tumours.Treatments for severe nasal congestions usually involve surgery, to remove the obstruction in the nose.
A nose tumour is a growth in the nasal cavity, and may or may not be a symptom of cancer. Tumours of the nose should be screened immediately upon discovery to check for any cancer signs, so that suitable treatments can be carried out.Tumours are usually removed via surgical procedures.
Sinusitis is the inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses in our nose. This is caused by blocked sinuses leading to the growth of bacteria. Conditions that can lead to sinusitis are common cold/flu, allergic rhinitis, growth in the nose (nasal polyps), or a deviated septum.There are two types of sinusits:Acute sinusitis - temporary condition that lasts up to 4 weeksChronic sinusitis - lasts for several weeks or yearsLight sinusitis can be treated by nasal decongestants , but in some cases more advanced treatments for the bacteria may be needed.
A fiberoptic nasal endoscopy is a test using an endoscope to view and examine the inside of the nose. During the procedure, the doctor inserts a thin, long tube-like endoscope with a camera into your nasal passages to view the inside of your nose through a camera.Fiberoptic endoscopy is a quick, office-based procedure, and can be used to diagnose and evaluate any discomfort or conditions within the nose.
Sinusitis is the inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses in our nose. This is caused by blocked sinuses leading to the growth of bacteria. Conditions that can lead to sinusitis are common cold/flu, allergic rhinitis, growth in the nose (nasal polyps), or a deviated septum.There are two types of sinusits:Acute sinusitis - temporary condition that lasts up to 4 weeksChronic sinusitis - lasts for several weeks or yearsLight sinusitis can be treated by nasal decongestants , but in some cases more advanced treatments for the bacteria may be needed.In the case of a functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), the doctor uses an endoscope to see the inside of your nose and sinuses, with a video camera attached on the endoscope. This is a minimally invasive surgery where the endoscopes are used to enlarge the nasal drainage pathways to improve the sinus ventilation.
There can be a few different factors that cause nasal obstruction, including a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, or tumours.Treatments for severe nasal congestions usually involve surgery, to remove the obstruction in the nose.For light cases of nasal obstruction caused by mucus or allergic reactions, nasal sprays or medications may be administered.
Nasal sprays can be used to relieve stuffed or blocked nose as a result from a cold, a flu, or an allergic reaction.

A nasal valve surgery is a surgical procedure done to correct, change, or fix the structure of the nasal valve. This can be a treatment for a nasal valve collapse, or can also be done for cosmetic purposes.This surgical procedure requires at least an overnight stay in the hospital/clinic after the surgery.
Nasal polyps or soft growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses that causes no pain. These are not tumours, but can be a result of inflammation due to asthma, infection, allergies, or immunity disorders.Some signs and symptoms of nasal polyps include:Runny nosePersistent Stuffy NosePostnasal DripDecreased or absence of sense of smellLoss of sense of tasteFacial pain or headacheUpper teeth painSnoringNasal polyps can be removed via surgery, usually done via endoscopic surgery to remove the polyps within. During this surgical procedure that is also known as polypectomy, the doctor will insert a small tube with a tiny camera into your nostrils and remove the polyps using tiny instruments.
A perforated septum is when there is a hole in your nasal septum, the middle part of your nose between the two nostrils. Small perforations can be detected by whistling noises when breathing, but larger perforations may cause more severe symptoms like nose bleed, breathing difficulty, and nasal pressure discomfort.
A nasal septum deviation is the displacement of the nasal septum, the middle part of the nose. This can be caused by nasal congestion, with one side of the nose being more congested than the other, causing difficulty or unbalanced breathing through the nose. A deviated septum requires a surgery to correct the septum into a central position. Also known as septoplasty, this procedure straightens the septum, allowing for better airflow through the nose.

Anosmia is the loss of the ability to smell, usually caused by nasal congestion due to a cold, allergy, sinus infection, or poor air quality.Sometimes, the loss of smell can also be a symptom of more serious conditions, like nasal polyps (small noncancerous growths in the nose) or injury to the inside of the nose.Depending on the cause, anosmia can be treated and the sense of smell can return if the cause of the condition is treated successfully.
Nose bleeds, or also known as epistaxis, can be caused by various factors, including, irritation, internal fractures, or infection. While nosebleeds that happen once in a blue moon usually don't cause any health concerns, chronic nose bleeds that happen frequently can be a sign of serious problems in the nose like fractures or internal deformation and infection.If you have nosebleeds frequently, you can get your condition checked by a specialist doctor to have an accurate diagnosis and treatment,
Nose pressure discomfort, also known as sinus barotrauma, is an inflammation in the inner nose on the sinus caused by the difference in air pressure inside an outside the nose.You may feel pressure or pain in the forehead or around the teeth, cheeks, or eyes, or also bleeding into the sinus when you have sinus barotrauma.Nose pressure discomfort can usually be treated with nasal congestions or medications, according to your specialist doctor's diagnosis.
