A deviated septum is an incredibly common condition, and numerous individuals with a deviated septum needn’t bother with treatment. A few side effects like a stodgy nose or postnasal dribble might be eased with prescription, including decongestants, antihistamines, or nasal sprays. As a rule, drugs are attempted before a surgical procedure is suggested. If an individual has a deviated septum and messes up breathing or rest apnea and snoring, a surgical procedure might be prescribed to fix the septum. A medical approach to correct a deviated septum is called a septoplasty, submucous resection of the septum, or septal remaking. We also do Endoscopic Septoplasty
