Air flow through the nasal passages in a person with a deviated septum can feel exaggerated or even painful. You may be more at risk of developing sinus infections and headaches due to the pain. Septum surgery is a common procedure which can completely correct the problem, but it does come with risks such as bleeding, nerve damage. Talk to your regular Dr for a full evaluation and referral.

Hello, the job of the nose is to warm, moisten and clean the air we breathe. If your nasal anatomy isn’t normal, then there’s a good chance the function of your nose is altered. See your ENT doctor who can properly evaluate your nose and develop a treatment plan. Begin with saline irrigation and then use a steroid nasal spray. This often works and completes the insurance requirements for surgery.
