Too much cold air entering the nostrils

I have also condition bit similar ... i have dns since i was 16 yrs old nd now i just feel it has progressed .. during my 21-22 yrs i started having cold allergy not specific to season but even due to air conditioners ... my ent specialist treated it and it didn’t reappear until now after 3 years with much worse symptoms ... though i cant differentiate if its allergy or what but it has greatly affects my life ... my right nostril is quite blocked nd i cant breath much from it left is fine ... but lately my nose has started becoming excessively cold both outside and inside . Though inside is a disaster ... i feel so much of cold air going through my nose that i cant tolerate ... i cant even sleep without covering my entire face with blanket making my breathing condition worse ....
due to my job routine i have to sleep early but due to this i cant even sleep until its dawn temperature kind of seems to get down... leaving me all tired irritated and lazy the entire day ...
Also at times what i have to do to counter this is go to another room nd lay down with no fans or acs in complete warmth to be able to breath ... 😖😖😖
Im just tired of it no one around me believes my condition they say your making it up ... and hence no seeing doctors for useless reasons
Please someone just tell me how can i deal with all this .. just hearing s diagnosis would be great too ... treatment would be no less than a miracle

I have had this issue for about a year & a half now went to all kinds of doctors and done all kinds of blood & urine test no diagnosis have tried all kinds of weird things suggested by people & doctors nothing has worked & some made it worse. It has changed after having balloon sinuplasty, I can now breathe better but it hasn't taken away the cold and now it has moved into my check bones.

I have a similar issue. It is very hard to live with. I would try wearing a mask to sleep instead of the blanket because a mask will stay in place, but a blanket won't. My left nostril is blocked mostly, instead of the right. I do a lot of mouth breathing when I sleep because not enough air coming in nose and the mask also helps to moisturize the mouth with humid air.
I have had ENTs who have done CTscans and MRIs and examined me. I did have a septoplasty 20 years ago that did not help. Recently I have had 2 ENTs say they don't see anything to do surgically. Then I have another ENT say I need a Vivaer procedure, that my nasal valves are not working right. Then another ENT says I need a turbinate reduction, not a Vivaer procedure, he says the Vivaer would not work on my condition. Then another ENT who says not to have either procedure and sends me to a neurologist for pain issues I have in the nose and the neurologist wants to put a wire in my head to send pulses to the nose lining to deaden the pain.
