My nose looks a little crooked to the left and I'm worried about it. I don't want surgery are there any medicines or nasal sprays that can help straighten it naturally?

View allI had COVID last year and for the past six months, I've been dealing with constant nasal blockage because my turbinates are swollen, as confirmed by my ENT. I've tried all the medications the doctor suggested, but nothing has worked. Right now, I'm just using saline drops to manage the blockage. Is surgery the only option left for swollen turbinates, or could allergy shots help? Also, does turbinate surgery increase the risk of empty nose syndrome?
Swollen turbinates causing nasal blockage can be treated with medications like nasal sprays and antihistamines, and allergy shots may also be helpful, but surgery is sometimes necessary. Turbinate surgery carries a risk of "empty nose syndrome" (ENS), especially if too much tissue is removed
