What Is Rhinology? Understanding Nose and Sinus Care
Rhinology is the subspecialty of ENT medicine that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses - the air-filled cavities surrounding the nasal passage within the skull. A rhinologist is trained to manage everything from allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps to advanced endoscopic sinus surgery and skull base tumour removal.
The nose does far more than allow you to smell. It filters, warms, and humidifies the air you breathe. When it is blocked, infected, or structurally abnormal, the consequences ripple outward - affecting sleep, energy, concentration, hearing, and overall quality of life.
"Chronic sinusitis affects quality of life significantly. With modern endoscopic techniques, we can achieve lasting relief without extensive surgery."
Chronic Sinusitis
Persistent inflammation requiring specialized evaluation and targeted treatment.
Nasal Allergies
Comprehensive allergy management with medical and surgical options.
Nose & Sinus Conditions Treated by an ENT Specialist in Delhi
Evaluation and treatment for nasal blockage, sinus problems, allergies, nasal polyps, smell disorders, nosebleeds and other conditions affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses in children and adults.
Chronic Sinusitis (Chronic Rhinosinusitis)
Chronic sinusitis is persistent inflammation of the nose and sinuses, generally lasting 12 weeks or longer. Common symptoms include nasal blockage, thick nasal discharge, facial pressure, reduced sense of smell, headache and post-nasal drip. Causes may include nasal polyps, allergies, a deviated septum and ongoing inflammation. Assessment may involve nasal endoscopy and, when appropriate, CT imaging. Treatment can include medicines, saline irrigation, nasal sprays and surgery such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) when indicated.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths associated with chronic inflammation of the nasal and sinus lining. They may cause persistent nasal obstruction, reduced smell, mouth breathing, post-nasal drip and recurrent sinus symptoms. Treatment depends on the size and severity of the polyps and may include saline irrigation, intranasal corticosteroids and other medical therapy. Selected patients with persistent or extensive disease may require endoscopic sinus surgery, while advanced recurrent disease may be considered for biologic treatment where appropriate.
Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)
A deviated nasal septum occurs when the cartilage and bone dividing the nasal passages are displaced from the midline. A significant deviation may contribute to one-sided or bilateral nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, disturbed sleep, recurrent nasal symptoms and difficulty breathing during exercise. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and nasal assessment. When symptoms are caused by structural obstruction and do not improve adequately with medical treatment, septoplasty may be considered to improve nasal airflow.
Allergic Rhinitis (Nasal Allergy)
Allergic rhinitis develops when the immune system reacts to airborne allergens such as dust mites, pollen, mould or pet dander. Typical symptoms include repeated sneezing, nasal itching, watery discharge, congestion and itchy or watery eyes. Allergy assessment may help identify relevant triggers. Treatment can include allergen avoidance, antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids and, in selected patients, allergen immunotherapy.
Enlarged Turbinates (Turbinate Hypertrophy)
Turbinates are structures inside the nose that help warm, humidify and filter inhaled air. Persistent enlargement, often associated with allergies or chronic nasal inflammation, can contribute to nasal blockage and difficulty breathing. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include allergy management, nasal medication or turbinate reduction procedures in appropriately selected patients.
Sinusitis, Facial Pain & Sinus Headaches
Facial pressure or headache may occur with sinus inflammation, particularly when accompanied by nasal blockage, discharge or reduced smell. However, many headaches described as "sinus headaches" are actually related to migraine or other headache disorders. A detailed history and ENT examination, with nasal endoscopy or imaging when indicated, can help identify whether the symptoms are related to sinus disease or another condition.
Loss of Smell (Anosmia & Hyposmia)
Anosmia means complete loss of smell, while hyposmia refers to reduced ability to smell. Causes may include nasal polyps, chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic inflammation, viral infections, head injury and certain neurological conditions. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include management of nasal inflammation, treatment of sinus disease and olfactory training when appropriate.
Post-Nasal Drip
Post-nasal drip describes the sensation of mucus draining from the nose or sinuses towards the throat. It may cause frequent throat clearing, cough, throat irritation or a sensation of mucus in the throat. Allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis and chronic sinus conditions can contribute to these symptoms. Treatment focuses on identifying and managing the underlying nasal or sinus problem.
Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)
Nosebleeds are common and may occur because of nasal dryness, irritation, trauma, nose picking, allergies or other nasal conditions. Most bleeding originates from blood vessels near the front of the nasal septum. Recurrent, prolonged or heavy bleeding requires ENT evaluation to identify the source and determine appropriate treatment, which may include local measures or nasal cauterisation.
Nasal Fracture & Nasal Trauma
Nasal injuries can result from falls, sports injuries, road accidents or other trauma. Pain, swelling, bruising, nasal deformity and difficulty breathing may occur. Early ENT assessment is important to evaluate the nasal bones and septum and to identify complications such as a septal haematoma. Treatment depends on the type and severity of injury and may range from observation to fracture reduction or corrective surgery.
Sinusitis in Children
Children can develop prolonged or recurrent nasal and sinus symptoms, including persistent nasal discharge, congestion, cough, mouth breathing and disturbed sleep. Enlarged adenoids, allergies and recurrent infections may contribute to symptoms. Paediatric assessment helps determine whether medical treatment, allergy management, adenoid evaluation or another approach is appropriate.
Recurrent Sinus Infections
Repeated episodes of sinus infection may be associated with allergies, nasal obstruction, anatomical variations, nasal polyps or other underlying factors. A detailed ENT assessment can help identify contributing causes and distinguish recurrent sinusitis from repeated viral upper-respiratory infections. Treatment is tailored to the cause and may include medical management, allergy treatment or surgery in selected cases.
Nasal Blockage & Nasal Obstruction
Persistent difficulty breathing through the nose may result from a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, allergies, chronic sinus inflammation or other structural problems. Nasal obstruction can affect sleep, exercise, breathing comfort and quality of life. ENT examination and nasal endoscopy can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Fungal Sinusitis
Fungal involvement of the sinuses includes several different clinical conditions, ranging from non-invasive fungal disease to more serious invasive infections. Symptoms may include persistent nasal blockage, facial pressure, discharge or reduced smell. Diagnosis depends on the clinical presentation, endoscopic findings and imaging. Treatment varies according to the type of fungal sinus disease and may include medication, endoscopic surgery or specialist management.
Common Nose & Sinus Symptoms
Persistent nasal and sinus symptoms can affect breathing, sleep, smell and everyday comfort. An ENT evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Blocked or Stuffy Nose
Persistent difficulty breathing through the nose may be related to nasal congestion, allergies, a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps or sinus disease.
Facial Pain or Pressure
Pressure or discomfort around the cheeks, forehead, eyes or nose may occur with sinus inflammation and other nasal conditions.
Frequent Headaches
Recurrent headaches with nasal congestion, facial pressure or other nasal symptoms may require assessment to determine whether the sinuses are involved.
Runny Nose
A persistent or recurrent runny nose may occur with allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, infections or other nasal conditions.
Sneezing and Nasal Allergy
Frequent sneezing, nasal itching and watery discharge are common symptoms of allergic rhinitis and may interfere with daily activities and sleep.
Post-Nasal Drip
Mucus draining from the back of the nose into the throat may cause throat irritation, frequent throat clearing or coughing.
Reduced or Loss of Smell
A reduced sense of smell may occur with nasal inflammation, sinus disease, nasal polyps, infections or other conditions affecting the nose.
Mouth Breathing
Difficulty breathing through the nose may lead to habitual mouth breathing, particularly during sleep, and may be associated with nasal obstruction.
Snoring
Nasal obstruction can contribute to mouth breathing and snoring. Persistent snoring, especially with disturbed sleep, may require evaluation for sleep-related breathing problems.
Nosebleeds
Repeated nosebleeds may be associated with dryness, irritation, allergies, trauma, nasal inflammation or other nasal conditions and should be assessed when recurrent.
Recurrent Sinus Infections
Repeated episodes of nasal blockage, discharge, facial pressure or other sinus symptoms may require evaluation to identify contributing factors.
Difficulty Breathing Through the Nose
Long-standing nasal breathing difficulty may result from structural problems, allergies, turbinate enlargement, polyps or chronic nasal and sinus inflammation.

Nose & Sinus Surgeries Performed by Dr. Dhirendra Singh Kushwah in Delhi
Surgical treatment for selected nasal and sinus conditions, including chronic sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, turbinate enlargement and other conditions causing persistent nasal obstruction.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
FESS is an endoscopic procedure used for selected patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps or persistent sinus drainage problems when appropriate medical treatment has not provided sufficient relief. The procedure is performed through the nostrils using an endoscope to improve access to the affected sinus pathways.
- • Endoscopic approach through the nostrils
- • Helps improve sinus drainage and ventilation
- • May be considered for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps
- • Treatment is planned according to the individual sinus condition
Septoplasty – Deviated Nasal Septum Surgery
Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum that contributes to persistent nasal obstruction or breathing difficulty. The procedure reshapes or removes selected portions of the septal cartilage and bone to improve the nasal airway while preserving appropriate nasal structure.
- • Treats symptomatic deviated nasal septum (DNS)
- • Aims to improve nasal airflow
- • Usually performed through the inside of the nose
- • May be combined with turbinate treatment when appropriate
Turbinate Reduction
Enlarged nasal turbinates can contribute to chronic nasal blockage and difficulty breathing through the nose. Turbinate reduction aims to reduce excessive tissue volume while preserving the normal function of the nasal lining.
- • Used for selected cases of turbinate hypertrophy
- • Can help improve nasal airway space
- • Radiofrequency techniques may be used in suitable patients
- • Technique depends on the patient's nasal anatomy and condition
Endoscopic Nasal Polyp Removal
Nasal polyps are non-cancerous inflammatory growths that can cause nasal blockage, reduced sense of smell and persistent sinus symptoms. When surgery is appropriate, polyps can be removed using an endoscopic technique, with treatment directed at the underlying nasal and sinus disease.
- • Endoscopic removal of obstructive nasal polyps
- • May be combined with sinus surgery when indicated
- • Can help improve nasal airflow and access to the sinuses
- • Ongoing medical management may be needed after surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty uses a small balloon catheter to widen the drainage pathway of selected sinuses. It may be considered for carefully selected patients depending on the sinus involved, anatomy, symptoms and underlying disease.
- • Minimally invasive endoscopic technique
- • Uses a small balloon catheter to widen the sinus opening
- • Suitable only for selected sinus conditions
- • Suitability is determined after clinical evaluation
Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
Endoscopic skull base surgery uses the nasal and sinus passages to access selected conditions involving the skull base. Depending on the diagnosis, surgery may be considered for conditions such as certain skull base tumours or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.
- • Endoscopic access through the nasal passages
- • Used for selected skull base conditions
- • May involve multidisciplinary surgical care
- • Treatment planning depends on imaging and diagnosis
