Can taking steaming help little in reducing turbinates?

Steam rx of nose: Steam treatment and saline flushing will help clean out mucus and other aggregations of material in nose and sinus passages. To the extent that cleaning out will reduce irritation and inflammation, then turbinate tissue will shrink a bit.

Turbinates: There are many different procedures to reduce turbinate hypertrophy, The goal is to reduce hypertrophied tissue while maintaining the mucosal surface, as the turbinates serve an important function. This can be done surgically but there are some medications to help manage turbinates too. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
