  2. Patulous Eustachian tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patulous_Eustachian_tube

    Estrogen nasal drops or saturated potassium iodide have been used to induce edema of the eustachian tube opening. Nasal medications containing diluted hydrochloric acid, chlorobutanol, and benzyl alcohol have been reported to be effective in some patients, with few side effects. Food and Drug Administration approval is still pending, however. [12]

  3. Empty nose syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_nose_syndrome

    The major symptoms of ENS include a sensation of suffocation, nasal dryness, nasal burning, nasal crusting, and an impaired sense of airflow through the nose in patients who have had surgery or injury to nasal turbinates. [13] ENS can greatly reduce a patient's quality of life and many patients struggle to complete activities of daily living.

  4. Nasal congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_congestion

    Nasal obstruction characterized by insufficient airflow through the nose can be a subjective sensation or the result of objective pathology. [10] It is difficult to quantify by subjective complaints or clinical examinations alone, hence both clinicians and researchers depend both on concurrent subjective assessment and on objective measurement of the nasal airway.

  5. Rhinorrhea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinorrhea

    Rhinorrhea is characterized by an excess amount of mucus produced by the mucous membranes that line the nasal cavities. The membranes create mucus faster than it can be processed, causing a backup of mucus in the nasal cavities. As the cavity fills up, it blocks off the air passageway, causing difficulty breathing through the nose.

  6. Aerosinusitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosinusitis

    Normally, the sinuses drain into the nasal cavity through small ostia, which permit mucociliary clearance and ventilation that equilibrates pressure. However, when the opening is obstructed due to inflammation, polyps, mucosal thickening, anatomical abnormalities, or other lesions, pressure equilibration is impossible.

  9. Frenzel maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenzel_maneuver

    The maneuver is used to equalize pressure in the middle ear. Today, the maneuver is also performed by scuba divers, free divers and by passengers on aircraft as they descend. [1] [2] [3] The trapped air inside the mouth and nasal cavities is compressed by the movement of the tongue or larynx while doing Frenzel maneuver.
