Every morning when I wake up, my nose is really blocked which makes it hard for me to breathe. It's been going on for the past couple of days, and I'm a bit worried. Could this be a symptom of the coronavirus? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Is there any way to fix a deviated septum without surgery? My breathing is really bad through one nostril and I'm wondering if exercises or massages could help
While exercises or massage can't correct a deviated septum, they may help manage symptoms like nasal congestion and make breathing easier. Surgery (septoplasty) is the only definitive treatment for a deviated septum
