See alllergist: These may be all related to allergy. Unless the spur is obstructing your passages permanently, surgery would not make much difference. Even if you have the surgery, your allergic problem would not go away. Get a 2nd opinion before you go for the surgery. If you have access to an allergist, go see one. In the meanwhile, make sure that you are aiming the nasal spray towards the side of the nose.

No surgery: A spur of the nasal septum is common. Unless there is obstruction on that side, surgery is likely to be of little benefit. Surgery will not help with nasal allergies.
