This is called the nasal cycle.

Use Flonase to help (need daily use for >= 4 weeks) If this doesn't help enough, you should see an ENT.

Fun fact: the turbinates in the nose (which are responsible for the nasal cycle) have erectile tissue in them.

I had a doctor basically remove everything from my nose that could be removed including a bunch of the turbinates. It's great I can actually breathe through it now.

I had this recommended for me, but the risk of empty nose syndrome scared the shit out of me.

It can happen, but the way most ENTs train these days, unlikely. I've seen it twice that I recall off the top of my head, but very rare these days.

Most ENTs, including myself, are overly cautious. You're at a higher risk for symptom recurrence because of under resection.

That being said, I wouldn't let an oral surgeon or general plastic surgeon touch my family member's nose (unless they had a very very good reputation). Nothing wrong with their work, I'm just not sure they had the same training and respect for the nose.
