Answer: Breathing through one nostril... Breathing through one nostril that switches from side to side can be due to allergic rhinitis causing swelling intermittently on one side of the nose and then the other one, referred to as the nasal cycle. This can be treated with medication. If the obstruction is more static, then a septoplasty may correct it.

Answer: Breathing through one nostril Nasal obstruction that alternates sides is most commonly due to turbinate hypertrophy. The turbinates are often reduced during septoplasty or other nasal surgical procedures in order to improve the nasal airway. The turbinates swell in response to inflammation such as allergens, smoke, etc. If symptoms do not response to medical management, such as a nasal steroid spray, then surgery may be an option.

Answer: Breathing only through one side of the nose, one nostril Hello Ivan and thanks for your question.Given that the nose and nasal breathing passages are three dimensional structures, a complete examination is needed to determine the diagnosis and the exact reason for breathing difficulty. In our office we used a headlight and other instrument to come up with the exact cause for this issue.
