Answer 2

Your allergies may be a significant factor to the problem. Most of the time, enlarged inferior turbinates are the result of allergies, irritating environmental exposure, or some minor persistent inflammation within the sinuses.

Another reason is deformity of the nasal septum that has caused the bone on the wider side of the turbinate to increase in size.

In the case of allergy or irritant-related enlargement, treatment of the underlying problem may reduce turbinate swelling and solve the problem.

If not, turbinate reduction surgery may be required. Because the turbinates help the nose to clean and humidify the air we breathe, it is usually better to leave as much tissue intact as possible. The doctor will probably opt for selective, or targeted, turbinate reduction – rather than extensive reduction.

So if your allergies are the underlying cause, getting those under control may very well fix the problem - meaning you may not need surgery at all.  But only your doctor can determine that for sure.
