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

Good Morning! This can be a difficult issue to address but there are options. If you haven't been allergy tested - either via skin or blood - that may be a good start. This can provide direction on which allergens may be exacerbating your symptoms. Additionally, it may be worth looking into a CT scan of the sinuses to ensure nothing is happening within your nasal cavity. The medications you're taking are appropriate. A rhinoplasty can help to "stretch" the nasal skin to keep it more refined. A turbinate reduction can improve breathing and can be done in office. Some may advocate for trying microneedling or a peel to see if any improvements can be made. I would seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who also has an ENT background. Hope this helps you!

There is a medical approach that you are following very well.
The surgical approach would be a rhinoplasty.
African american rhinoplasty typically involves 4 different components. Some patients need them all, some only one or two. Here are the 4 components.
1. Improvement of the bridge height with an implant.
2. Narrowing of the wide upper nose (bony part) with osteotomies.
3. Narrowing of the tip (Tip-plasty)
4. Narrowing of the nostrils (Alarplasty)
