NOSE CLINIC
What is Rhinitis?
Rhinitis is an inflammatory condition accompanied by various symptoms including runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, and itching. Without active treatment in its early stages, it becomes chronic. Chronic rhinitis can also cause other complications, which is why early treatment is important.
Structural abnormality
Rhinitis caused by deviated nasal septum
Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis
Functional abnormality
Allergic rhinitis
Vasomotor rhinitis
Other causes
Infection, hormonal, medication,
occupational, emotional, etc.
“
Baroko rhinitis surgery accurately identifies the cause and provides personalized treatment accordingly.
”
Rhinitis Treatment Tailored to the Cause
A detailed examination and consultation help us identify the cause and tailor treatment to reduce recurrence.
Medication
Treatment is applied in stages according to the pattern and severity of symptoms.
Oral / topical antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, anticholinergic sprays, and other medications are prescribed to match the individual's condition.
Immunotherapy
Sublingual immunotherapy allows the patient to regularly place an extract of the allergen under the tongue.
It can be taken anywhere, at any time, making treatment easy and convenient.
Functional Surgery
01
Inferior turbinate laser
When the other structures are normal but rhinitis has caused the inferior turbinate to enlarge and narrow the airway, a simple laser procedure is used for treatment.
02
Deviated nasal septum correction
A deviated nasal septum can cause nasal deformity, congestion, and headaches.
Straightening the septum improves the shape and the airway.
03
Nasal valve stenosis
The nasal valve is the space at the top of the inside of the nose.
When it narrows, breathing becomes difficult due to congestion and reconstruction surgery is required.
Rhinitis Assessment and Diagnosis
In-Depth Consultation
Our ENT specialist conducts the consultation in person, assessing symptoms and mucosa through an in-depth evaluation to understand the patient's condition.
Allergy testing
A range of allergy tests are performed, including skin-prick testing, gustation testing, olfaction testing, and threshold testing.
Detailed examination
State-of-the-art 3D-CT and precision endoscopy are used to assess the internal condition of the nose and the degree of rhinitis.

Rhinitis Surgery — FAQ
Rhinitis is an inflammatory condition accompanied by multiple symptoms including runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, and itching. Without active treatment in the early stages it becomes chronic and can lead to complications — which is why early treatment is important.
Through precise examination and a patient interview, we identify the cause (structural abnormality, functional abnormality, or other) and provide personalized treatment. Medication, sublingual immunotherapy, inferior turbinate laser, and other functional surgeries are applied in stages according to the patient's condition in order to minimize the chance of recurrence.
Baroko can combine functional nasal surgery (rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, etc.) with cosmetic rhinoplasty of the bridge and tip in a single procedure. Deviated nasal septum, nasal valve stenosis, rhinitis, and sinusitis may qualify for medical expense insurance following examination; however, reimbursement rates vary depending on enrollment date and policy terms, so please confirm directly with your insurer.
