Hi,
As per my clinical experience, the current presentation suggests a deviated nasal septum with turbinate hypertrophy responsible for the upper airway obstruction.
As rightly said by your ENT specialist, surgery is the permanent solution for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
