- Nasal endoscopy which is when they put a thin and flexible tube with a light through your nose that allows them to look into your sinuses.
- Imaging studies where a CT scan or MRI can show details of your nasal area but is usually not recommended but may help identify abnormal or suspected complications.
- Nasal and sinus cultures where lab tests are taken. They are usually not necessary but may help determine the cause such as an infection caused by bacteria.
- Allergy skin tests are tests that are safe and quick and can help pinpoint the allergen that is responsible.

A doctor may diagnosis the flu just based upon the symptoms that you have. However, if the physician needs to be sure, there are several lab tests that can be run. These lab tests do not require a blood sample; the medical professional just takes a swab of your nose and throat and sends it for testing. Not all tests are accurate though.

A doctor will want your health history, to know if you smoke or have a history of smoking, are exposed to secondhand smoke or chemicals, have symptoms or have a family history of COPD. They test with Spirometry, which is a test where you blow into a mouthpiece that is connected to a machine that measures how fast and how much air you blow out. They do other tests as well, like x-rays, and arterial blood gas tests.
