Inflammation of the Nasal Mucosa: Definition and Causes
Inflammation of the nasal mucosa, also known as rhinitis, refers to inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the inside of the nose. It can occur for a variety of reasons, including viral or bacterial infections and allergic factors. Rhinitis can be divided into two main categories: allergic and non-allergic.

Types of Rhinitis
Rhinitis is divided into two main categories:
- Allergic rhinitis: caused by allergic reactions to factors such as dust, pollen, and cigarette smoke.
- Non-allergic rhinitis: caused by non-allergic factors such as viral infections or changes in temperature.
Are you a good candidate?
Your goal, medical condition, anatomy, and expectations for the result should all be reviewed together in an in-person evaluation.
What is a common mistake?
Deciding based only on one portfolio photo, or comparing yourself to someone else, can create unrealistic expectations.
Why does choosing the right surgeon matter?
A good outcome is not just about appearance; preserving function, safety, and a proper aftercare plan are also part of the treatment.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Nasal Mucosa Diseases
Diagnostic Methods
Inflammation of the nasal mucosa is usually diagnosed through a clinical examination and, when necessary, skin tests and an IgE blood test. In certain cases, a CT scan may also be needed.
Treatment of Nasal Mucosa Inflammation
Treatment for nasal mucosa inflammation depends on its type. For allergic rhinitis, antihistamines and saline sprays can be effective. In more severe cases, surgical treatment may be required.
Preventing Diseases of the Nasal Mucosa
To help prevent inflammation of the nasal mucosa, it is recommended to avoid allergy-triggering factors and, when needed, rinse the nose with a saline solution.
