Hello
Yes from your ct scan it looks like that you may need surgery specially for the deviation of the nasal septum ( which is the bone in the middle of your nose) However i have not examined you and i would like you to meet your ent doctor , who will examine you and guide you further.Antibiotics will not be very useful and i suggest that you can stop them.
