Can a hit to the nose lead to swelling of turbinates?
So this would be roughly around two years back when I hit my nose. I have always had a slight left side septum deviation and some right side nasal blockage but it was manageable.
After the hit it became quite pronounced and the blockage started to persist in the right nostril (also some sort of protrusion developed on the right outer nose)
The blockage is manageable during the daytime but at night I think I've resorted to mouth breathing and wake up really agitated with a dry throat.
What do you think should be the best way for me to treat this?
I had a nasal endoscopy done a few weeks back and the doctor straight away reported me going forward with septum deviation and a laser-based surgery for turbinate reduction but I was sceptical and eversince looking forward to some other methods to solve this
