Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose wet or dry inside nose, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "wet or dry inside nose" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

Sjogren's Syndrome
Vasomotor Rhinitis

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

low energy/stamina

frequent sneezing / attacks

mouth sores

regular runny nose

very dry eyes

high cigarette smoke sensitivity

very dry mouth

elevated ANA levels

nasal congestion

minor joint pain/swelling/stiffness

allergy to chemicals

... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of wet or dry inside nose:

Cause	Probability	Status
Sjogren's Syndrome	97%	Confirm
Vasomotor Rhinitis	54%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Nose/Smell Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about inside nose moistness:

How moist is the inside of your nose normally, when you are not ill and not suffering from any allergic reaction?

Possible responses:

→ Too dry
→ Quite dry
→ Normal / don't know
→ Quite moist
→ Very moist - tends to run

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either dry nose or moist nose, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Nonallergic / Vasomotor Rhinitis

Sjogren's Syndrome
