Detailed Answer:
Hello

From your complaints it looks like that you may be having a deviated nasal septum/bone and maybe even a sinus infection.

Since you do not want a surgery , then i woyuld like you to try , specially pranayam and if possible jal netti , this will help clear up your sinuses and give good relief.

Please learn these techniques from a professional and not just by watching videos!

You should also avoid smoking/pollution/dusty places and try to keep the air conditioning above 25 degrees.

You can also supplement your diet with food rich in vitamin c , like citrus foods , guava, etc . Vitamin C will help boost your immunity and help fight infections.

Please dont worry, jus try these things and i am sure you will be fine in 3-4 weeks.

Take care!
