français vers anglais Médecine ENT - Clinical trials
ENT symptom. In the olden days apparently the meaning was "a head cold" "rhume du cerveau", but the head cold does not fit all the instances where it appears.

Caution, when they want to say congestion, they say congestion, when they mean obstruction they say obstruction! So I need something different, and very urgently.

Any doctors or pharmacists out there, thanks very much in advance!!!

stuffiness/stuffy nose

I'm certainly no expert on the subject but I found this term used for hayfever symptoms in one of the pharmaceutical sites that is available in French and English.
