In short

The nose filters the air to remove dust, germs, and irritants, warms and moistens the air to protect the lungs and tubes from drying out, and contains nerve cells that help the sense of smell. When there is a problem with the nose, the whole body can suffer, such as when a stuffy nose from a common cold makes it hard to breathe, sleep, or get comfortable. Other problems that can affect the nose include a deviated septum, nasal polyps, nosebleeds, rhinitis, and nasal fractures.

Codes

ICD-10: J34
ICD-11: CA0Z Upper respiratory tract disorders, unspecified

Description

Your nose is important to your health. It filters the air you breathe, removing dust, germs, and irritants. It warms and moistens the air to keep your lungs and tubes that lead to them from drying out. Your nose also contains the nerve cells that help your sense of smell. When there is a problem with your nose, your whole body can suffer. For example, the stuffy nose of the common cold can make it hard for you to breathe, sleep, or get comfortable.
Many problems besides the common cold can affect the nose. They include:
Deviated septum - a shifting of the wall that divides the nasal cavity into halves
Nasal polyps - soft growths that develop on the lining of your nose or sinuses
Nosebleeds
Rhinitis - inflammation of the nose and sinuses sometimes caused by allergies. The main symptom is a runny nose.
Nasal fractures, also known as a broken nose

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.

Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.

What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.

Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.

In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
