7 Months Post Op

Hi, had a turbinate reduction 7 months ago and have been back multiple times to ENT cause my issues are still apparent. When I have both nostrils unblocked, I only really feel like I’m breathing through my right one. When I block the right one with my finger, I can breathe and don’t feel any sense of suffocation. Idk what’s going on with my nose but it’s been like this pretty much from a month post op to now. My surgeon offered me more surgery to help since he saw inflammation in my left nostril at my most recent procedure but I’m hesitant. Has anyone had this experience and then develop ENS down the line? My turbinates are still mostly there and I can feel the sensation of menthol when I use a stick so I know TRPM8 still has function.
