If you experience a blocked nose, recurrent nasal congestion, nasal allergy, sinus problems, or difficulty breathing, the right first step is a medical examination to identify the cause of your symptoms and determine the appropriate treatment.
Nose problems may begin with seemingly mild symptoms, such as congestion or a runny nose. However, these symptoms may persist or recur and affect breathing, sleep, the sense of smell, and the ability to carry out daily activities comfortably. The underlying cause may be related to nasal allergy, sinusitis, nasal septum deviation, enlarged nasal turbinates, nasal polyps, or another condition that requires an accurate diagnosis.
Magrabi Health’s nasal care and rhinology services include the assessment of nose and sinus conditions and the development of a treatment plan based on the cause and severity of the symptoms. The plan may involve medication, follow-up care, and managing allergy triggers. It may also include nasal endoscopy or additional tests when needed. When symptoms do not improve with conservative treatment or are linked to a structural problem that affects breathing, the doctor may discuss suitable surgical options.
Care at Magrabi Health is supported by more than 70 years of medical experience, with a strong focus on quality standards and patient safety. In this context, the Magrabi Health network has received Joint Commission International accreditation, reflecting its commitment to quality standards and safe patient care.
Having nose symptoms does not necessarily mean that you need surgery. The first step is an examination to identify the cause and determine whether your nasal treatment should involve medication and follow-up, nasal endoscopy, or a surgical procedure.

Nasal care at Magrabi Health begins by assessing the cause of the symptoms and then choosing a suitable plan for the individual condition, rather than starting with the same procedure for every patient. The plan may involve medication and follow-up care, nasal endoscopy and additional tests, or surgery when the doctor confirms that it is medically needed.
Reasons patients may choose Magrabi Health include:
Choosing Magrabi Health does not mean that every nose condition requires surgery. The purpose of the examination is to identify the cause of the problem and select the most appropriate option, from conservative treatment and follow-up care to surgery when there is a medical indication.
Ask on WhatsApp About the Appropriate Doctor or Examination for Your Condition
You may need a specialist examination if your nose symptoms are persistent or recurrent, or if they begin to affect your breathing, sleep, sense of smell, or daily activities. An examination may be appropriate if you experience:
Medical note: Symptoms alone are not sufficient to identify the cause of the problem or select a treatment. Allergy, inflammation, nasal septum deviation, and nasal polyps can cause similar symptoms. The doctor determines the diagnosis after an examination.
Ask on WhatsApp About the Appropriate Examination for Your Symptoms
Nasal treatment begins with an assessment of the cause of the symptoms. Not every patient requires nasal endoscopy, imaging, or surgery. The doctor selects the appropriate tests according to the symptoms and the findings of the initial examination.
The doctor asks about how long the symptoms have been present, how frequently they occur, any known allergies, previous injuries or nose surgery, and the medications or nasal treatments you currently use.
The doctor examines the nasal cavity and internal tissues for signs of inflammation, congestion, bleeding, or nasal obstruction and assesses airflow through the nose.
The doctor may perform a nasal endoscopy to obtain a clearer view of the internal areas of the nose and assess the sinus openings, possible areas of obstruction or bleeding, or the presence of nasal polyps.
Some conditions may require imaging of the sinuses or allergy testing. These tests are not required for every patient and are requested according to the findings of the assessment.
After the examination, the doctor explains the cause of the symptoms and the available treatment options, including whether the condition requires medication and follow-up or an additional treatment procedure.

Rhinology includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the nasal cavity and sinuses, particularly conditions that influence breathing, the sense of smell, or the drainage of nasal secretions.
A nasal allergy may cause sneezing, a runny nose, itching, and nasal congestion. Nasal allergy treatment depends on identifying the triggers, the severity of the symptoms, and their effect on sleep and breathing.
Sinusitis may be associated with nasal blockage, discharge, facial pressure, or a reduced sense of smell. Sinus treatment depends on the duration and cause of the symptoms and whether the condition is acute, recurrent, or chronic.
Nasal congestion or a blocked nose may result from allergy, inflammation, nasal polyps, enlarged nasal turbinates, or nasal septum deviation. Treatment for nasal obstruction therefore begins by identifying the cause rather than relying on nasal sprays alone.
A nasal septum deviation may cause difficulty breathing or blockage on one side of the nose. Not every case requires surgery. The treatment plan may begin by managing accompanying inflammation or allergy, while septoplasty may be discussed if the problem continues.
Nasal polyps may cause persistent congestion, a reduced sense of smell, difficulty breathing, or recurrent sinusitis. Treatment may begin with medication, while nasal polyp removal surgery may be discussed if the condition does not respond to appropriate treatment.
The nasal turbinates are tissues that help moisturize and filter inhaled air. Hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates may lead to difficulty breathing, particularly when chronic allergy is present. Treatment depends on the cause and degree of enlargement.
Nose bleeds may occur because of dryness, irritation, a local injury, or other causes. Recurrent nasal bleeding requires an examination to identify its source and the factors contributing to it.
A reduced or lost sense of smell may be associated with congestion, sinusitis, nasal polyps, or other conditions that require an assessment.
A nasal care plan varies according to the diagnosis, severity of the symptoms, how long they have continued, and their effect on breathing and daily life.
The plan may include nasal sprays, saline nasal irrigation, allergy medication, or other treatments selected by the doctor.
Not every case of sinusitis requires antibiotics. The cause of the symptoms should therefore be identified before treatment is selected.
Nasal allergy or chronic inflammation may require regular follow-up to monitor the response to treatment, identify triggers, and adjust the plan when needed.
Nasal endoscopy may be used for diagnosis or as part of certain treatment procedures related to obstruction, bleeding, or sinus problems.
Nose surgery may be discussed when there is a clear structural problem or when symptoms continue despite appropriate treatment and follow-up care.
Surgical options may include:
Not every nasal obstruction or septum deviation requires surgery. The doctor determines whether surgical treatment is needed by comparing the symptoms with the examination findings.
Rhinology services are available across several Magrabi Health branches in Saudi Arabia, providing access to care for conditions affecting the nose and sinuses. Patients should confirm service and doctor availability before booking.

A nose examination does not usually require complicated preparation. However, preparing certain information and medical records before the appointment can help the doctor understand your condition more accurately and determine the appropriate tests or next steps without unnecessary repetition.
Before attending the consultation, it is helpful to:
If you have previous scans or medical reports, it is advisable to bring the available original or digital copies. Do not stop any prescribed medication or nasal spray before the appointment unless your doctor advises you to do so.
Nose and sinus problems may affect breathing, sleep, and daily comfort. However, similar symptoms do not mean that every condition requires the same treatment or surgical intervention.
The right first step is a medical examination to identify the cause of the problem and determine whether your condition requires medication and follow-up care, nasal endoscopy, or a surgical assessment when needed. Contact the Magrabi Health team to identify the appropriate doctor and branch and begin a clearer treatment plan for your condition.

Nasal care at Magrabi Health includes the assessment and treatment of various conditions such as nasal allergies, sinusitis, nasal congestion, nasal obstruction, nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps, and nosebleeds. Each condition is evaluated to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Not always. A blocked nose may be caused by allergy or inflammation that can be managed with medication and follow-up care. Surgery may be discussed if there is a clear structural problem or the symptoms persist despite appropriate treatment.
Sinusitis treatment depends on the cause and duration of the symptoms and the findings of the examination. The plan may include saline irrigation, allergy or anti-inflammatory medication, follow-up care, or an endoscopic procedure in cases selected by the doctor.
A doctor may use nasal endoscopy when there is persistent obstruction, recurrent bleeding, suspected nasal polyps, or a need to examine the sinus openings. Not every patient requires an endoscopy.
Medication cannot return a deviated septum to its normal position, but it may reduce accompanying allergy or inflammation. If the deviation affects breathing, the doctor may discuss septoplasty.
