A member asked:

Flight attendant get sinus infection every 2 months have deviated septum sinus surgery permanent or temporay fix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hopefully permanent: The goal of the sinus surgery would be to cut down significantly on the number of sinus infections you get. It's not a guarantee but it should definitely help.
