Is saline effective for turbinate hypertrophy?
Enlarged turbinates are a relatively common nasal disease. Rinsing the nasal cavity with saline solution has some therapeutic effects, but the specific effects vary greatly among individuals. Some patients experience good results, while others do not. In such cases, it is necessary to perform a nasal endoscopy and sinus CT scan to help assess the extent of the condition. If rinsing alone is ineffective, treatment should also include oral medications and nasal sprays. For a small number of patients who still do not respond well to standard conservative medication, surgical treatment might be considered, and long-term regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor for any recurrent episodes. (Please follow medical advice when using medications.)
