Allergic Rhinitis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Allergic rhinitis (hay fever): how pollen, dust mites and pet dander trigger nasal swelling, the symptoms, how it is diagnosed and treatment options.

Epistaxis, or a nosebleed, usually starts at the front of the septum. Sit, lean forward and pinch for 10 minutes. Causes, care and prevention.

Nasal septum deviation is very common and often harmless. It can come from growth or injury; septoplasty is the only fix if breathing suffers.

Common nose diseases include rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps and nasal fractures. Nasal steroid sprays and saline rinses are key treatments.

Rhinoplasty before and after results take time: most swelling fades in 2 to 3 months, but the final nose shape can take up to a year to appear.

Rhinoplasty recovery: the splint stays 1 to 2 weeks, most swelling eases in 2 to 3 months, and the final nose shape can take up to a year to settle.

How rhinoplasty surgery is done: anesthesia, incisions, reshaping bone and cartilage, splints, recovery time, age limits and possible risks.

Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is surgery that reshapes the nose for looks or to fix injuries, birth defects or breathing problems. Learn the risks.
