Problems Breathing Through my Nose? (photo)

so i've been having this problem for a while. my left nostril is smaller then the right one. and i have ashtma to so it's even harder to breath sometimes. i went to a ENT and he told me that i have chronic rhinitis. but i honestly think it's more then that. my nose looks broken for some reason. i dont remember falling on my nose or anything like that. but when i got to bed my nose is fine.(when i lay down) otherwise it's very hard to breath for me. any suggestions please?

Problems Breathing Through my Nose?

Your nose does look deviated and that is often associated with shifting of the nasal septum or weakness of the nasal valve area - these issues both cause nasal obstruction problems. A Facial Plastic Surgeon can evaluate you in the office and let you know if there are surgical or medical solutions to your nasal obstruction. I hope this information is helpful.

thank you so much! i am going to see my ENT next week and if he doesn't do nothing then i'll go see a plastic surgeon.
currently i'm using nasonex(which helps me but not 100%.
any other good medications out there?
i dont like using these steroid medications...i would prefer natural if possible.
