The main symptoms of bilateral turbinate hypertrophy include persistent nasal congestion, obstruction of the sense of smell, headache, as well as tinnitus, tearing, hearing impairment and so on. Patients should go to regular hospitals in time, under the guidance of doctors, for symptomatic treatment.
1. Persistent nasal congestion: Bilateral turbinate hypertrophy will cause increased and thick nasal mucus, which makes the nasal cavity poorly ventilated, thus leading to severe persistent nasal congestion.
2. Obstructed sense of smell: One of the main symptoms of bilateral turbinate hypertrophy is that the taste factor cannot reach the olfactory region, which results in decreased sense of smell.
3. Headache: Enlarged turbinates can compress the nasal septum, which can compress the pre-sial nerve and produce inflammation, leading to headache.
4. Tinnitus, overflow of tears, hearing impairment, etc.: Enlarged turbinate will affect the normal functioning of the nasolacrimal duct and the eustachian tube, which will lead to tinnitus, overflow of tears, hearing impairment and other symptoms.
