I'm dealing with chronic allergic rhino sinusitis and have a deviated nasal septum with enlarged turbinates. I recently heard about something called ENS, which can happen after turbinate reduction surgery. Is it safe to go ahead and get my deviated septum fixed along with FESS without doing anything to the turbinates, or is there a risk I should be aware of?

View allI'm noticing a bit of redness inside my left nostril. There's no pain, just some irritation, and I've been rubbing it a bit. I recently spent a day in a house that's under construction, and now it's feeling itchy. Could this be something serious that needs me to see an ENT, or is there a simple solution I can try at home?
For itchiness and irritation, you can use saline nasal spray and if you have dust allergy, use face mask in exposure to dust or pollution.
