Our Approach to Nasal Care
Our board-certified ENT specialist, Dr. Sarmad Sabour, begins by understanding how your symptoms affect your breathing, sleep, and overall comfort.
At Mile High ENT, our approach for managing nose-related conditions includes:
Our goal is to help you breathe more easily, reduce recurring symptoms, and support long-term nasal health.
Common Nose Conditions We Treat
At Mile High ENT, we treat a wide range of nasal conditions. While symptoms like congestion or pressure can feel similar, the underlying cause often differs, making a thorough evaluation an important first step.
Dr. Sabour focuses on identifying whether your symptoms stem from inflammation, a structural issue, or a combination of both. From there, your treatment plan is tailored to address the root cause and help you breathe easier and feel better day to day.
Nasal Obstruction
Nasal obstruction occurs when airflow through the nose is restricted, often due to structural issues or inflammation. This can make it difficult to breathe comfortably and may affect sleep, exercise, and daily activities.
We evaluate where the blockage is occurring and offer targeted treatments, including in-office procedures when appropriate, to help restore more consistent breathing.
Sinusitis & Sinus Infections
Sinusitis develops when the sinus passages become inflamed and blocked, leading to pressure, congestion, and drainage. Symptoms may be short-term or recur over time, especially when underlying causes are not addressed.
We assess the sinus pathways and underlying causes, then guide treatment, ranging from medical management to minimally invasive options such as balloon sinus dilation when needed.
Chronic Rhinitis
Chronic rhinitis involves ongoing inflammation of the nasal lining, which may be related to allergies or non-allergic triggers. It often presents as persistent congestion, a runny nose, or a postnasal drip that does not fully resolve.
We differentiate the cause and recommend targeted treatment strategies to reduce inflammation and improve day-to-day comfort.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft tissue growths that develop due to chronic inflammation and can interfere with airflow and sinus drainage. They may contribute to ongoing congestion, sinus issues, and a reduced sense of smell.
We evaluate the extent of obstruction caused by polyps and provide care focused on improving breathing and reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
Loss of Smell
Loss of smell can occur when airflow to the smell receptors is blocked or when the nerves responsible for smell are affected. This can impact taste, safety, and everyday experiences.
We identify whether the issue is structural or sensory and guide treatment to help restore smell function whenever possible.
What to Expect During Your Visit
At Mile High ENT, our initial consultation is centered around understanding what you’re experiencing and helping you move forward with clarity.
We begin by discussing your symptoms, when they started, and how they are affecting your daily life. This is followed by a focused examination of your nasal passages and sinuses. In some cases, additional evaluation, such as nasal endoscopy or imaging, may be recommended to better understand the cause of your symptoms.
Throughout the visit, we take time to explain our findings and answer your questions. You will leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalized plan designed to improve your breathing and overall comfort.
When to See an ENT Specialist for Nasal Symptoms
Occasional nasal symptoms can occur with colds or seasonal changes, but persistent or recurring issues may require evaluation.
You may benefit from seeing an ENT specialist if you experience:
Symptoms lasting more than 10–14 days
Frequent sinus infections throughout the year
Difficulty breathing through your nose
Ongoing congestion or drainage
Reduced sense of smell that does not improve
Early evaluation can help identify the cause and prevent symptoms from becoming more severe or long-lasting.
