You are having left inferior turbinate hypertrophy
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.
After reading your clinical history it appears that you are having left inferior turbinate hypertrophy .
If I were your treating doctor , I would advice
avoid Nasavion drops long term use itself will cause nose block,
use steam inhalation by vaporizer twice daily ,
Saline nasal spray thrice daily like solspre ,
use tab Romilast L 10 or Montek Lc at night ,
Use combination nasal spray like Nezalast or Duonase, 2 puff each nostril twice daily & use warm water gargle 20 mins after steroid spray .
You will get relief .
Investigation needed CT Scan PNS to know extend of disease & severity.
If you have done this tests before then upload reports. Whether it is temporary or permanent will be clear on CT Scan report .
Decision of operation if needed can be taken after this investigations.
Hope this information helpful to you .
Regards.

Thank you very much Doc!!!
I will upload the results of the scan and other details as suggested.
I had cisulted Dr. Neerav Chheda, at Ghatkopar and he had informed me that this could be a result of some allergy and but could not come to a conclusion about the cause.
I will start the treatment suggested and revert wth the results.
Thanks and Regards,
