Sinuses particularly bad right now. Saw ENT, they said CT is ok and didnt know what to tell me. Today Im getting no/little air in nose, face pain, little/no mucus. Should I try an allergist? How can I get relief? Nothing ever works.

I smoked heavily (either hookah, cigar, vape, cigarettes) 1-3 days a week for one year. It has been 2 years since I have completely quit. I am wondering if 2 years is enough to consider my related health risks lowered and equivalent to a non smoker?
