Benefits of an ENT nasal examination for your health

A specialist ENT nasal exam is a detailed medical procedure performed by an otorhinolaryngologist. The exam helps diagnose issues with the nose and airways, as well as monitor existing conditions. It includes various ENT diagnostic methods such as visual inspection, nasal endoscopy, and additional tests.

The exam allows for accurate identification of the causes of symptoms such as nasal congestion without a cold, runny nose, loss of smell, or bleeding. Thanks to this examination, patients receive precise information about their condition and treatment guidance, helping prevent more serious health complications.

When should you schedule an ENT nasal exam?

You should book an ENT nasal exam if you have symptoms like:

• chronic nasal congestion
• frequent runny nose
• sinus pain
• impaired sense of smell
• frequent nosebleeds

These symptoms may indicate conditions that require urgent medical attention. If symptoms last more than a few weeks, do not delay the exam. In case of sudden worsening of symptoms or serious nasal injuries, schedule an appointment with our ENT specialists immediately. Acting early greatly improves treatment success and speeds up recovery.

What does an ENT nasal exam look like at Dr Prlja Medical Clinic?

ORL pregled nosa u našoj klinici sprovodi se detaljno i sistematski. Ovaj pregled uključuje:

• Patient consultation: The doctor gathers detailed information about symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, allergies, and current medications. Sometimes allergy testing is needed to help establish an accurate diagnosis.
• Visual inspection: The external nose and nasal cavities are examined, along with the condition of the skin and mucosa.
• Endoscopic examination: A thin tube with a camera is used to examine the inside of the nose and sinuses. This allows a clear view of all nasal cavity areas and helps diagnose issues such as deviations, polyps, or inflammation.
• Additional tests: If necessary, the doctor may request allergy testing or radiological imaging of the sinuses (X-ray or sinus ultrasound).
• Final consultation: The doctor explains the findings in detail and recommends next steps in treatment or further evaluation.

Throughout the exam, special attention is given to the patient’s comfort. The doctor explains each step clearly and provides support.

What conditions can be detected through a nasal examination?

An ENT nasal exam provides insight into many conditions that may affect your breathing, health, and daily life. The exam can detect:

• Sinusitis – inflammation of the sinus lining, often accompanied by facial pain, forehead pressure, thick discharge, and headaches.
• Deviated nasal septum – a deformity that can cause breathing difficulties, frequent congestion, and infections.
• Nasal polyps – benign growths that block the airways, reducing the sense of smell and causing chronic congestion.
• Allergic rhinitis – an inflammatory reaction to allergens, with symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes.
• Nasal and sinus tumors – rare but serious conditions, which may show signs like swelling, nose shape changes, bleeding, and unexplained pain.

These findings are obtained through a combination of visual inspection, nasal endoscopy, and, if necessary, radiological imaging. Accurate diagnosis allows timely treatment and prevents complications.

Endoscopic nasal examination in children

ENT nasal exams in children require a special approach because symptoms in kids often differ from those in adults. Children may have constant nasal congestion, breathe through the mouth, snore at night, and parents may think it’s just a cold. However, the cause may be an enlarged adenoid, nasal polyps, or allergic rhinitis. The exam is done gently and quickly, in the presence of a parent, using a flexible child-friendly endoscope.

Based on the exam, it is possible to determine whether the breathing issue is mechanical (such as a deviated septum or enlarged adenoid) or caused by an allergic reaction. Timely diagnosis in children helps prevent chronic infections, hearing problems, and even delayed speech development.
Dr Prlja Medical has experience working with children and uses methods that ensure safe, accurate, and fast diagnosis with maximum comfort for young patients.

What happens after an ENT nasal examination?

After the ENT nasal exam is complete, the patient receives a detailed treatment plan based on the diagnosis. Treatment may include:

• the use of local or systemic nasal sprays and medications,
• allergy therapies,
• decongestants or nasal corticosteroids,
• and surgical interventions in more serious cases (e.g., septoplasty, polypectomy)..

Surgical procedures or removal of nasal polyps can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring. This improves sleep quality and rest, both for the patient and their family. Proper nasal breathing supports oxygen intake, reduces morning fatigue and headaches. In patients with allergic rhinitis, reducing symptoms like sneezing, itching, and nasal blockage makes daily life easier. After diagnosis and treatment planning, our doctors continue supporting patients through follow-up appointments and advice.
