3. Diagnosis of Vasomotor Rhinitis

When the doctor suspects vasomotor rhinitis, he or she will ask about symptoms and medical history to reach a diagnosis. Due to the similarity between the types of rhinitis, the physician will often order skin or blood tests to rule out allergies and may also carry out tests to exclude sinus problems as a cause of the symptoms. This may involve examining the inside of the nose using a small fiber-optic camera called an endoscope. CT scans can also help to diagnose obstructions in the sinuses.
