How important is septoplasty for chronic sinus and ear infections? i'm 37 yo.

Not important: The septum effects breathing and in some cases can occlude areas in the nasal cavity where the sinuses drain. This latter case may contribute to chronic sinusitis- however the septum has very little influence on sinus infection and no role in ear infection.

Depends on severity: Depends on the severity of the deviation and the degree of blockage. Initially decongestants and steroids will i taille be used in combination with antibiotics if needed.
