The purpose of this trial is to know which method is better in delivering radiofrequency waves for hypertrophied turbinates: coblation or RavoR technique? Researchers will compare both techniques in randomized blinded manner patients will have subjective outcomes like NOSE score, pain Objective outcomes like Turbinate size over long term clinical follow up visits for 1 year
