Super stuffy and nasally voices toddler

Anonymous
DS 2.5 has a constantly stuffy nose and loud mouth breathing. His voice sounds like his nose is being pinched when he speaks. We went to the ENT a few months ago - looked at him for all of 2 seconds and his tonsils were slightly large but not alarmingly so, ordered an x-ray, and they recommended a sleep study.

X-ray came back normal And with that said I’m wondering if the sleep study is actually necessary if he sleeps fine at night? When I look up his nose I can see straight up one nostril but the other side seems to be blocked by tissue and I’m wondering if he has an extremely deviated septum.

I have made appointment for a second opinion but I’m wondering if these symptoms sound familiar to anyone here and what the cause/treatment ended up being?
