cannot say in your particular case. frankly it is generally associated with sinus infection that is easily treatable with antibiotics. It can be from congestion and/or damage to the nasal mucosa from the cocaine. It would have to be cocaine going into the nose to do that. It generally gets better rapidly.

A regular doctor (if INFORMED ABOUT THE COCAINE) can easily assess and treat this. If the singing voice isn't already hurt, then it is unlikely to be hurt if there is treatment soon (mostly a simple antibiotic for sinus infection). The nasal damage peaks within the time the cocaine is used. There isn't progressive damage after use is long stopped.
