Question 1

can deviated nasal septum give you constant post nasal drip and very bad breath? if so what is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

No: A deviated septum causes a mechanical blockage of breathing on the side of the deviation.  It is true that the tissue on the opposite side may become enlarged and block the opposite side as well. But post nasal drip and foul breath is more likely a manifestation of other problems in the nose or sinuses.  See an ENT doctor for a more specific diagnosis and treatment.
