Treatment of home oxygen induced rhinitis: an unusual use for a nasal obturator.

Abstract:

:Patients requiring home oxygen can experience drying and crusting of nasal mucosa. On occasion it can be severe causing significant discomfort. In this report we present such a case. To prevent nasal airflow and hence reduce symptoms the patient was fitted with a nasal obturator. The use of the nasal obturator resulted in a rapid resolution of her symptoms. In this case the use of the nasal obturator was reversible and a simple solution for the treatment of a difficult condition.
