A member asked:
Is there treatment to reduce turbinate without surgery? looking for other methods besides surgery so i can smell and fully breathe again
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But first you need to be sure that the turbinate swelling is not reversible and is the sole cause for your loss in smelling function. Ultrasound and cryotherapy have been used for turbinate reduction. See ENT
