frog nose
Introduction
Introduction The frog-shaped nose is completely blocked by the nasal cavity, and the outside is deformed. The bridge of the nose is broad and flat like a frog. It is called a frog-shaped nose and is found in hypertrophic nasal polyps.

The cause of the frog nose
The cause of nasal polyps is still unclear. It is often caused by rhinitis, chronic rhinitis or sinusitis. It is believed that chronic infection and allergic reaction are the main reasons.

Diagnostic examination of the frog nose:
Nasal polyps are often multiple and occur bilaterally. It is characterized by progressive nasal congestion, increased nasal discharge, dysosmia and headache. Other patients have mouth breathing, bad breath, dry mouth, dry throat, decreased or disappeared olfactory, obstructive nasal sounds, mucopurulent sputum, dry throat discomfort and cough, and dizziness and headache. When the polyps are large, the outer nose can be deformed, and the bridge of the nose becomes wider and expands to form a "frog nose."
People with the above symptoms should go to a regular hospital for examination. They will see one or more new creatures in the nasal cavity that are grayish white or reddish or translucent, such as fresh lychee or peeled grapes, or water storage. Rubber bag shape. It feels soft, movable, not easy to bleed, and does not feel pain.
When examining the posterior nasal polyps, the nasal mucosa must be contracted first and a posterior nasal examination is performed. Nasal endoscopy and X-ray and CT sinus radiographs can identify the location and extent of the lesion.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of frog nose:
Patients with similar symptoms, such as hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa or hypertrophy of the middle turbinate, are often misdiagnosed as nasal polyps. In addition, nasal polyps may be confused with diseases such as inverted papilloma, nasopharyngeal angiomas, and nasal malignancies.
