ENT Conditions Deviated
Septum
The septum is made up of a thin piece of cartilage and bone that divides the nose into two sides. When you have a deviated septum this piece of cartilage is not straight as it normally would be and may block air coming through one or both sides of your nostrils. A Septoplasty may need to be done to clear the blockage. Steroid nasal sprays may also be used to help decrease any swelling and allow air to pass through your nostrils. |
