Understand What’s Behind Your Nasal Symptoms
Persistent congestion, facial pressure, drainage, nosebleeds, and changes in your sense of smell can have several possible causes. Inflammation, infection, allergies, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinates, and structural differences such as a deviated septum may produce similar symptoms or affect one another.
Our nose doctors and rhinologists in the Twin Cities evaluate more than the symptom that brought you in. They consider how long the problem has lasted, whether it keeps returning, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your breathing, sleep, comfort, and daily activities.
With access to physicians experienced in both medical and surgical care, you can receive an evaluation and a treatment plan based on the underlying problem.
Explore Your Nose and Sinus Treatment Options
Treatment is selected according to the cause and severity of your symptoms. Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care provides nonsurgical management, in-office care, and advanced procedures for patients with routine concerns and more complicated nasal or sinus conditions.
Chronic Sinusitis Evaluation & Treatment
A nose specialist can evaluate symptoms such as congestion, facial pressure, drainage, headaches, and reduced sense of smell, then recommend medical or procedural treatment for chronic sinusitis.
Nasal Airway & Deviated Septum Care
Your physician can identify the cause of nasal obstruction and discuss treatments such as medication, septoplasty, or turbinate reduction to improve airflow.
For allergy-related congestion, sneezing, itching, or drainage, care may include environmental changes, medication, or allergy testing and immunotherapy.
Recurring Nosebleed Evaluation
An ENT physician can assess for the source of recurring nosebleeds and recommend moisturizing care, medication adjustments, cauterization, or further evaluation.
Smell & Taste Disorder Care
Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care evaluates smell and taste disorders related to sinus disease, allergies, respiratory illness, injuries, medications, and other conditions.
Nasal & Sinus Procedures
If conservative treatment does not provide enough relief, nasal and sinus procedures such as septoplasty, functional septorhinoplasty, turbinoplasty, or sinus surgery may be considered.

What Patients Want to Know About Nose and Sinus Care
Do I need a referral to see a nose specialist?
Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Some patients can schedule directly with an ENT physician, while others need a referral from a primary care provider or must choose a specialist within a designated network. Check your benefits or call Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care if you need help determining what to request.
Can your nose specialists treat both adults and children?
Yes. Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care treats nasal and sinus conditions in patients of all ages and includes board-certified pediatric ENT specialists. The appropriate provider may depend on the patient’s age, symptoms, and whether the concern requires general, pediatric, or advanced nasal and sinus expertise.
When should congestion or sinus pressure be evaluated by an ENT?
Consider an ENT evaluation when congestion or pressure persists, frequently returns, affects sleep or breathing, or does not improve with the treatment recommended by your current provider. One-sided obstruction, recurring nosebleeds, significant smell changes, or symptoms accompanied by severe pain, swelling, or other concerning changes also warrant medical attention.
Start Breathing More Comfortably
You should not have to keep guessing whether congestion, pressure, drainage, or restricted airflow comes from allergies, recurring inflammation, or a structural problem. Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care’s nose doctors can identify possible causes and explain the medical or surgical options that fit your condition.
