Nasal Congestion Treatment in Nomadoc
About the clinic
Nasal congestion treatment at Nomadoc in Mazapil, Mexico, focuses on restoring airflow through medical therapy and advanced surgical correction.

The clinic is part of an ISAPS-accredited network and offers flexible consultation options, including virtual appointments and house calls.
Diagnostic options for nasal congestion
The diagnostic process begins with a detailed physical examination to identify the cause of the obstruction. Dr. Mariana Druan Ortiz evaluates the internal nasal structures to differentiate between inflammation, allergies, or structural defects. Patients typically undergo the following assessments:
- ENT medical evaluation. This includes a physical examination and a formal diagnosis of the underlying cause.
- Imaging for sinus assessment. The doctor may request a CT scan or MRI to view the sinus cavities and bone structure.
- Allergy testing. These tests help determine if environmental triggers are causing tissue swelling.
Treatment and surgical procedures
Nomadoc provides a range of solutions from pharmacological relief to permanent structural changes. For mild symptoms, doctors prescribe nasal sprays and decongestants. If structural issues like a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates are present, surgical intervention becomes necessary.
- Septoplasty. This surgery corrects a deviated nasal septum to restore equal airflow through both nostrils. It typically requires one day of hospital stay.
- Turbinate surgery. The surgeon uses cauterization or partial resection to reduce the size of enlarged turbinates. This is usually an outpatient procedure.
- Functional rhinoplasty. This technique reshapes nasal structures to improve breathing. The procedure often requires a stay of one to two days in the clinic and includes pre-operative tests and follow-up care.
