Brief Answer:
ENT examination essential.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. However, the details are not enough to arrive at any conclusions. You need to get a proper ENT examination and need to visit an ENT specialist for the same. It could be a nasal polyp or a deviated nasal septum (DNS). It could also involve a foreign body or could involve enlarged adenoids.
Take steam inhalation. It should help. Also apply saline nasal drops to each of the nostrils as required.
Regards
