Structural Abnormalities
Deviated septums, enlarged tonsils, nasal polyps, or tumors can lead to nasal congestion.
Nasal Congestion Diagnosis
An ENT specialist diagnoses nasal congestion conditions based on symptoms the patient is experiencing and after a physical exam. They use an endoscope to examine the ear, nose, and throat and determine the cause of the congestion.
