Hi Group,
Can a enlarged turbinate of nose cause a obstacle Turbinate 10-12 yrs
old which is blocking the whole nostril but can breath through thou
has alternate stooped feeling.
Constitution has produced much change but has not reduced the size of
turbinate. Even after three mnts of the dose.

It probably depends on the cause of the enlarged turbinate. If it is a pathological defect (caused by genetics or an accident, a structural fault rather than a functional one), surgery may be required. Rosemary

Thanks to kris and leela and rosemary,

I only wanted to know can a large growth like turbinate cause a
recurrence in the acute attacks, especially when the constitution has
not removed nor has not produced any change to the growth( may be it
may take time but is there a chance that it never occur). So can we use
a specific in this case, or can we go for a surgical removal of the
condition. I am well aware that surgery alone wont cure this chronic
rhinitis type or attacks but can it aid the cure during homeopathic
treatment. When i had referred the MM text's there are many remedies to
polyps in nose but only one medicine for turbinates ( Lema minora). Has
any body cured the turbinates with our medicines.

In this case there is a obvious large turbinate in the right nostril, pt
is allergic ( gives cold and later dysena) from may many things like
dust, change i weather. During a ordinary day the pt can breath well
through both nostrils but when it is cloudy ( some times with out cause)
there is an obstructed sensation in one or both the nostrils so has to
breath through the mouth. If u examine the nostril the right nostril
is totally closed but can breath with out any difficulty except in
the above said conditions. The cause of enlargement is recurrent colds
and sneezing due to the tender constitution , which is now complicated
by drug over and injudicious use.

Thanking
Nandana.
