deviated septum from a bad cold

I had a bad cold and after two weeks the cold began to go away but the left nostril now has a deviated septum.  The nostrils are dry and i get a pain in the nose that I can feel in my front teeth. It feels like a small tooth ache.  Went to the dentist and endontist and it is not tooth related.

I posted earlier that I thought this might be an infection but after two visits to the ENT there does not seem to be one unless it is the larger septum which he said looks a little bigger but not infected.

I am now using coconut oil, steam and some water with salt.  Can I expect relief?  I am older and do not want to have any surgery for this.  I do not care if I have a big nose.
