Hi, Thanks for using HCM

Your nasal findings are suggestive of allergic manifestation of nose. Swelling like changes in lining of nose. Sinus are air filled bony cavities surrounding nose, even they are showing thickening of mucosa. Nasal septum(partition between two nostrils) is some what deviated towards left side, means left side nostril is reduced in size.
Your findings are all allergic manifestation in nose. These are treatable condition.Consult your doctor for prescription of suitable medications.

DNS depending on severity of obstruction needs surgical correction.
Polyps in nose removed by FESS surgery.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
