Deviated Septum
I've lived with a Deviated Septum all my life and it's never been a problem.. even now I don't realise I have a deviated septum as my breathing is normal. The only time I realise it is when only one of my nostrils gets blocked when I have a sneezing bout due to allergy.
Should I fix my deviated septum with surgery? Will my nose change its shape? Does a deviated septum aggravate allergic rhinitis?
