I've been dealing with this issue where one side of my nose is always blocked because of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. My ENT says it's not a big deal and gave me decongestants, but I still get these bad headaches in my forehead, and my eye movement feels kind of restricted when it happens. I'm really curious about how these nose issues are connected to my headaches and what else I can do to make them go away. Could you help me understand this relationship a bit better and suggest some ways to get some relief?
