Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sinus problem and the breathing difficulties. please, considering the long standing nature of your symptoms, you most likely need to see an ENT specialist for a more detailed evaluation and management. The fact that it only happens with the right nostril means there is something very specific to it that must be addressed. A consultation as already suggested is mandatory. Please, strongly consider doing so.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
