Does deviated septum cause post nasal drip and how?

Poor drainage: A deviated septum frequently alters the anatomy of other areas of the nasal passages. If such, the normal drainage of fluids from the sinus into the nasal passage and then into you pharynx can be blocked. The drip is from a poor normal drainage. See an ENT doctor for an evaluation.

It can: By encroaching on one side of the 2 nasal canals, back up of congestion can cause postnasal dripping of nasal mucus. An Otolaryngologist can advise you best about this condition.
