Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
Regarding your query for your blocked left nose, which is from birth and your doctor had advice for surgery.
You have not mentioned the diagnosis for nasal obstruction on left side, so here I am giving some conditions causing unilateral obstruction like-
1- Deviated nasal septum.
2- Antero chonal polyp.
3- Hypertrophied turbinates.
4- choncha bullosa.
All above are managed by surgery only.
Regards.
