Nose Examination

Nasal congestion, frequent sneezing, nosebleeds, or a constant feeling of blockage can point to several different underlying causes — and the only way to know for sure is a proper examination. At Dr. Vivek's Clinic, nose examinations are carried out by Dr. Vivek Taneja, an experienced nose specialist in Delhi with over 27 years of ENT practice, using proper diagnostic tools rather than guesswork. The aim is a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that actually addresses the cause, not just the symptom.

When Should You See a Nose Specialist?

A nose examination is worth booking if you're experiencing any of the following:

Persistent nasal congestion or blockage
Frequent sneezing or a runny nose that doesn't settle
Nosebleeds, especially if recurring
Reduced sense of smell
Facial pain or pressure around the nose, eyes, or forehead (often linked to sinus issues)
Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils

What Happens During a Nose Examination

The examination typically begins with a review of your symptoms and medical history, followed by a physical examination of the nasal passages. Depending on what's found, Dr. Vivek's Clinic may recommend a diagnostic nasal endoscopy for a closer look at the nasal passages and sinuses before finalising a treatment plan.

Common Nose and Sinus Conditions We Diagnose and Treat

A nose examination at Dr. Vivek's Clinic often uncovers one of the following, each handled with a specific treatment approach:

Sinus issues (sinusitis) — congestion, facial pressure, and headaches are common signs; sinus treatment in Delhi typically starts with confirming the cause through examination before deciding on medication or further intervention.
Nasal allergies — ongoing sneezing, itching, or congestion linked to allergens rather than infection.
Deviated septum — may cause one-sided blockage or breathing difficulty; addressed through septoplasty surgery if conservative treatment isn't enough.
Nasal polyps — soft growths inside the nasal passage that can block airflow and reduce smell; treated through nasal polyp excision when needed.
Chronic or severe sinus blockage — in select cases, endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) may be recommended if non-surgical treatment doesn't resolve the issue.
