Will having surgery on a deviated septum reduce colds?

Probably not : This is not likely to reduce frequency of colds but may help to improve obstructive symptoms.

Septoplasty: Not necessarily. A cold comes from a viral infection. the septoplasty will improve your breathing. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
