See ENT: At some point you will need to see an otolaryngologist (ENT) to evaluate your nose and nasal breathing. In the meantime you could try to use over the counter oral decongestants (as long as you don't have high blood pressure issues or your heart doesn't race) or oxymetazoline nasal spray. This might open up your nose. You shouldn't use the nasal spray more than 3 days.

See an ENT doctor: An ENT doctor should be able to easily help you. By looking in your nose and taking a good history medical options and if necessary surgical options can be discussed with you. Stay away from over-the-counter decongestant nasal sprays as these will make your nose much much worse.
