Hi,

Nasal blockage cause can be diagnosed by simple ways:
* Nasal Endoscopy and CT scan of sinuses
* Repeated sores and staph infection indicates reduced immunity hence you should undergo proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of blood to know the cause and get treated accordingly
* IF there is septal deviation then get operated
* All related medical problems should be treated well
* Curative courses of antibiotic for staph infection and to find the cause why you are getting the attack repeated
* Avoid contacts with public at large to avoid exposure to avoid staph infection
* Boost immunity

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
