First of all get NCCT PNS and nasal endoscopy.
Treatment depends upon CT and nasal endoscopy findings. Initially the patient is put on conservative treatment ( anti allergics and nasal sprays), depending upon the response the surgery can be planned or deferred.
Next Steps
Consult online for proper history and treatment
