   Swollen nasal passages - Enlarged Turbinates (Allergies board)

23rd July 2005
Hello :wave: About 14 years ago I was advised that I had enlarged turbinates (in both nostrils). The walls in my nose were swollen into small balls... one side of each nostril. It looks like one ball in each nostril. The Dr suggested that I have them cut out. Since I almost died giving birth to my first born (and last) via c-section, I was too scared to have them removed. No surgery for me! Now (14 years later)... they seem to be bothering me more... always swollen! Now, I believe there is laser surgery. I have an appt to meet with an ENT to re-evaluate. What helps me a bit is taking Allegra-D (D means decongestant).
Would love to hear from anyone suffering same and anyone who has had them removed. Thank you! <> lol :)
