i usually catch the throat infection or enlarged tonsils after having any sour food like lemon,pickle tamarind etc. my nostrils become swollen specially my right side . and i have a breathing problem from my nostrils. when i m lying with my left side.it seems like any congestion or passing area is not free, it occurs specially in humid or cold weather. i have less smell and taste.

Hello I am Dr Ravinder Sharma ENT surgeon
I will try to explain the things as follows
Submandibular Sialodanitis - refers to infection/inflamamtion of the salivary gland present in the floor of oral cavity
Rhinosinusitis with Anosmia/Hypogeusia - Infection /Inflammation of nose and sinuses with decrease in smell
DNS-R/Hypertrohied Turbinate - means Deviated nasal Septum with increase in size of soft tissue swelling in the lateral wall of nose

Your CT scan suggestis multiple polyps in nose and sinuses. Nose has nerve fibres for smell in the roof. Due to polyps the air is not reaching there thus causing ansomia

You will need treatment for sialoadenitis and nasal polyps. I would advise you for a ENT consultation. Possibly nasal polyps will require surgery. I hope this answers your concerns. Feel free to contact me if your need more information on this

With warm regards threatening
