Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a perforated septum.
A perforated septum occurs when there is a small hole or tear in the bone separating your nose into two sides.
When air travels through the hole from one nostril to the other, the airflow creates a whistle sound.
The treatment consists in surgery.
You should consult a ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
