Empty nose syndrome is a serious disease caused by excessive removal of the turbinates of the body. Patients with empty nose syndrome experience dryness and choking sensation in the nose and throat. Patients with Emphysematous Rhinitis may experience irritability, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Some people may have nasal crusts, increased nasal discharge, thick runny nose, and even a foul odor.
Empty nasal syndrome is usually caused by excessive removal during turbinate surgery, so patients undergoing turbinate removal should pay strict attention to the extent of removal and pay attention to protecting the mucosa during endoscopic nasal surgery.
In patients with hollow nose syndrome, diagnosis is usually made by nasal endoscopy and x-ray and CT scan. It usually shows symptoms of dry, pale and crusty nasal mucosa and is also able to check whether the turbinate tissue is indeed missing. Empty nose is usually treated conservatively, but the treatment is not effective.
Patients with Empty Nose Syndrome should pay more attention to the cleaning of the nose in their daily life, regularly cleaning the nasal cavity and using oil-based drops in the nasal cavity. It is also recommended to actively engage in physical exercise to increase the body’s resistance. Eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
