About Nose Infection

A nose infection, medically managed by an ENT specialist, involves the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, or fungal infections within the nasal passages and sinuses. This is not a single surgical procedure but a comprehensive medical management process. It begins with a thorough examination, often including nasal endoscopy, to assess the extent of inflammation and identify the causative pathogen. Treatment typically involves a tailored regimen of medications such as antibiotics, antifungals, nasal corticosteroids, and saline irrigations. For chronic or complicated cases, minor procedures like sinus aspiration or culture may be performed. The goal is to alleviate symptoms like congestion, pain, and discharge, restore normal nasal function, and prevent complications such as the spread of infection.
