ENT eval: If you have not had an exam with an Ear Nose and Throat Specialist, you should schedule one. They can review the full history of your experience of these types of symptoms, and the circumstances, and perform the proper examination in order to diagnose and recommend the course of treatment for you.

Large turbinates: I agree that an ENT exam is essential but to address your question, the two swollen pink lumps that you are visualizing are the inferior turbinates, a normal structure in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. This enlargement of these structures may represent allergy. Are you taking OTC nasal sprays for more than 3 days? If you are, you may have rhinitis secondary to overuse of nasal sprays.
