How can I reduce nasal swelling from chronic rhinitis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy?

gauva_mama
I have chronic rhinitis and turbinate hypertrophy. I use azelastine spray, fluticasone spray (XHance), and nasal irrigation. (The turbinate is larger on the side with the wider nostril.) I like my nose but find that I often suffer from excessive swelling. I do my best to manage my sodium and hydration levels - but it can feel like a chore. Lymphatic drainage helps - but taking a diuretic works best. What type of intervention would be best for me?
