Hello,
You may have turbinate hypertrophy it may be due to the deviated nasal septum or due to infection. Avoid cool drinks and fridge water; avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling for five days. Use decongestants like Otrivin nasal spray. Use tablet Montelukast and Levocetirizine. If symptoms don't improve, please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
