How long can you live with Emphysema?

Empty nose syndrome itself does not affect life expectancy, and it is impossible to generalize how long a patient survives. Empty nose syndrome, also known as odorous nose syndrome, is caused by excessive atrophy and degeneration of the nasal mucosa, glands, and turbinate bones, resulting in hyperventilation of the nasal cavity and irritation of the respiratory airflow, resulting in a series of subjective symptoms of discomfort. Current research has concluded that empty nose syndrome is a treatable disease, not a terminal illness, and does not affect the life expectancy of patients. Empty nose syndrome is usually secondary to rhinitis, sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps and other related diseases after surgery, and its onset may be related to hormone secretion levels, vitamin deficiency, or even psychosomatic factors, and can usually be significantly relieved by conservative treatment, such as nasal irrigation with vitamin AD drops. If conservative treatment is ineffective, internal displacement of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity or anterior rhinoplasty is feasible. Patients with Empty Nose Syndrome need to avoid exposure to dust and chemical toxic gases as much as possible, as well as avoiding tobacco, alcohol, spicy and stimulating foods, and keeping the air humidity in the environment appropriate.
