Can you get sinus infections if you have a deviated septum and you use flonase to clear out the chronic congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it is possible to get sinus infections even if you have a deviated septum and use Flonase to clear out chronic congestion. A deviated septum is a condition in which the thin wall between the nasal passages is displaced to one side, causing one nasal passage to be smaller than the other. This can lead to chronic congestion, difficulty breathing, and an increased risk of sinus infections.
