Before turning to surgical turbinate reduction, patients can explore numerous conservative medical alternatives to manage nasal congestion and inflammation. These include daily intranasal corticosteroid sprays, oral antihistamines, saline nasal irrigations, allergy immunotherapy, and environmental avoidance strategies to mitigate exposure to dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. Additionally, short courses of prescription oral decongestants or targeted allergy medications can effectively shrink swollen nasal tissues without requiring invasive interventions.
