There are many issues on the inside of the nose that can cause breathing problems, such as valve collapse, vestibular stenosis, chronic sinusitis, allergies, turbinate hypertrophy, and a deviated nasal septum. Each one of these issues are treated differently with either medications or surgery. Also important to try medical management first, before embarking on surgical intervention. Cortisone nasal sprays, antihistamines and decongestants are used for this purpose. If and when you have failed medical therapy, consider surgical intervention for valve collapse which includes spreader graft placement.
