A member asked:
What is nasal resistance? is it the same as say, dioptries? i have a hypertophic nose. does that means mine is too big?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air resistance: This would refer to air resistance in the nose. Hypertrophy doesn't mean the nose is too big. It means the inner lining of the nose is thickened or swollen. This is usually caused by allergy.
