I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

My right ear feels kind of heavy, almost like there's some liquid in it, and I'm also dealing with headaches that range from mild to pretty intense. Can you suggest anything that might help?

#NAME?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

My nose has been crooked since birth it tilts to the left and doesn't look great, though it doesn't cause any breathing issues. I'd like to fix it but want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments that could help straighten it?

septoplasty is advised.
