A member asked:
Can turbinates be operated on for better breathing thru the nose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try nasal spray: Surgery is reserved for those who do not respond to medical therapy. Turbinates are swollen because of allergies and infection, most commonly. I suggest a prescription nasal spray and consulting your primary care or allergist. Get well now.
