It is unlikely that deviated septum can cause post nasal Drip. Unless your deviated septum was gross and was causing sinus obstruction it might not have been cause for post nasal discharge. You might be suffering from other issues such as reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related or chronic rhinosinusitis
Next Steps
Take a second opinion from a experienced ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
