Is there any natural way to fix my deviated nasal septum?
Treatment of a deviated septum is based on the patient’s symptoms. It may include analgesics (pain medications) to relieve headaches, decongestants to reduce secretions, antibiotics to eliminate a suspected infection, and corrective surgery for the more persistent, troublesome symptoms. Corrective surgery may consist of reconstruction of the nasal septum by repositioning the nasal septal cartilage, thus relieving the nasal obstruction. Other surgical procedures include rhinoplasty to correct nasal structure deformity and septoplasty to relieve nasal obstruction and enhance cosmetic appearance. Surgical complications are relatively rare, however, there is the possibility of hemorrhage (bleeding), infection, and further deformity. While most patients achieve relief of nasal obstruction, some may have persistent and recurrent nasal obstruction.
