Difficulty in pulling mucus from Lt nose
I have difficulty in pulling out mucus from left nostril. It does not come out easily. Is it due to concha bullosa? I had septoplasty for DNS in 2010 and Synechia removal with laser in 2014. I feel blockage on left side until the mucus comes out from left side. CT coronal finding revealed concha bullosa on left side. Do I need surgery? Will concha bullosa be cut and removed out OR only compression is enough without invasiveness? Please tell the name of the procedure I need. Thanks.

Surgery is not the immediate solution
Though you’ve cocha bullosa there is as such no block in the passage through which the mucous is drained
You will need mucolytics and decongestants as of now
So you can first try medical management
1. Use Xylometazoline nasal drops 2drops three times daily ONLY for 5 days
2. Fluticasone furate nasal spray 1puff twice daily for 3 Months (it takes time to start working)
3. Steam inhalation
If your symptoms are still not reducing even after all these measures then you can opt for partial turbinoplasty or partial resection of the bulla which the doctor treating you will decide and explain you
