Turbinate hypertrophy, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal turbinate hypertrophy are all descriptions of a similar condition where the tissue on the lateral (outside) walls of the nose are too large, causing nasal obstruction.
Turbinates are bony structures inside the nose, covered by soft tissue (mucosa). They regulate airflow and warm and humidify the air you inhale.
Introduction: The compensatory hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate in patients with septal deviation to one of the nostrils is considered to protect the airways from the excess of air that could enter through the nostril and its potential negative effects such as dryness, alteration of air filtration, mucociliary ...

A doctor may have to order special imaging scans, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, to identify whether the problem is turbinate hypertrophy or septal deviation. It's also possible to experience both conditions at once.
The middle turbinate projects into the central nasal cavity and resides next to the nasal septum. It is attached to the lateral nasal wall posteriorly just above the inferior turbinate but behind the maxillary, or cheek, sinus.

Cauterization, coblation, and radiofrequency reduction In some cases, doctors recommend surgeries that shrink the turbinates without removing any underlying bone or tissue. To do this, a surgeon uses a special needle-like device that heats the turbinates using a heat source or energy waves.
Turbinates play an important physiological role by warming and humidifying inspired air and by regulating nasal airflow, but they also contribute substantially to nasal airway obstruction, particularly in cases of allergy and viral upper respiratory infections.
Use a vaporizer or humidifier to add moisture to your bedroom. Follow the directions for cleaning the machine. Use saline (saltwater) nasal washes to help keep your nasal passages open and wash out mucus and allergens. You can buy saline nose sprays at a grocery store or drugstore.
