Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Dry nose. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had problems with dryness inside the nasal passages? - to establish if acute or chronic.
  • Are there simple reasons for the dry nose? - e.g. windy conditions, hot dry weather conditions, air travel (because the air in planes is dry), air-conditioning (air conditioners remove moisture from the air) and home heating.
  • Past medical history? - e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, primary biliary cirrhosis, diabetes insipidus, Raynaud's phenomenon, systemic sclerosis, chronic active hepatitis and vasculitis may all be associated with Sjogren's syndrome.
  • Medication? - e.g. antihistamines, lung bronchodilators such as ventolin, drugs that contain atropine and isotretinoin for severe acne may cause a dry nose.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Dry nose) may include:

  • Symptoms of Primary Sjogren's syndrome? - e.g. dry eyes, dryness of the mouth, dryness of the nasal passages, skin or vagina. This syndrome may be associated with many systemic conditions such as Raynaud's phenomenon, difficulty in swallowing (as seen in systemic sclerosis), painful joints (like that seen with systemic lupus erythematosus), thyroid disease, myasthenia gravis, primary biliary cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, renal diabetes insipidus, renal tubular acidosis and vasculitis.
  • Symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis? - e.g. joint pain, swelling, deformity and morning stiffness. It may also cause a number of systemic symptoms including carpal tunnel syndrome, anemia and enlarged spleen. 15% of people with Rheumatoid arthritis have a secondary Sjogren's syndrome which comprises dry eyes and dry mouth and may also cause dryness of the nasal passages.
  • Symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis? - e.g. itchy skin, jaundiced (yellowing) skin - may be associated with Sjogren's syndrome.
  • Facial rash? - may suggest Lupus erythematosus (which may be associated with Sjogren's syndrome).
  • Symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon? - e.g. sequential discoloration of the digits from pallor to blueness to redness upon exposure to cold. When fingers become red they are painful. Raynaud's phenomenon may be associated with Sjogren's syndrome.
