How they may present: Constant nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell and taste, or a feeling of pressure in the face.
Who treats them? The otolaryngologist is the specialist who studies the nose and paranasal sinuses; if nasal obstruction persists for a long time, it is worth having it assessed by a professional.
