The diagnosis is an ENT doctor on the basis of complaints of the patient, history of the disease, the examination of the nasal cavity. These methods is often sufficient for diagnosis. In some cases resort to the front rhinomanometry (assessment of the respiratory function of the nose), analysis of the scrape by the mucous membrane of the nose, endoscopic study of the nasal cavity, the allergy tests.
