General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, it appears that you have deviated nasal septum, and it led to the rest of the findings, sinusitis, oedema etc. If deviated nasal septum is corrected you will be fine in all respects.
So i advise you to approach the E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment, and surgery. Thank you.
