sir my son has hypertrophy turbinates one or the other side will always be blocked. if we go for sugery they say if turbinates are operated polluted air and all viruses affect the lungs. is that true?which surgery better laser or radio .....idont know
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No this is not true. Removal of turbinates can not allow viruses or polluted air to go inside the lungs. So don't believe in this. Hypertrophied turbinates are the common cause for blocked nose in child Chat Doctor.  They actually cause mechanical obstruction. And hence surgery is must overcome this mechanical obstruction. Laser surgeries are better than radio surgeries. Laser surgeries are safer, and they give faster recovery time. So in hospital stay is less, and hence cost is also reduced. So better to go for laser surgery for Hypertrophied turbinates. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
