Septal Deviation

Septal deviation is an abnormal bend in the wall between the nasal passages. This can cause obstruction and breathing difficulties.

Symptoms

Mild septal deviations may not require treatment.
Decongestants and antihistamines to reduce swelling
Steroid and antihistamine nasal sprays can also help shrink tissue swelling
Nasal strips that lift the nasal passages open
Septoplasty to straighten the septum. It inloves removing and repositioning portions of spetal bone and cartilage

Sports injuries, auto accidents, or falls where the nose hits an object forcefully. The impact dislodges the cartilage from its proper position.
Many patients are born with a septal deviation
Past surgeries like rhinoplasty can cause unintentional septal deformities
