How Should Respiratory Problems, Deviated Septum And Breathlessness Be Treated?

hello - I'm 47 and tend to get upper respiratory issues frequently (maybe 3 or 4 times a year) and they last for several weeks. Do the math and I'm sick for about 3 months every year. Other than that, I have no issues. Recent bloodwork doesn't show anything but I do have a deviated septum and when I'm sick, it's very hard to breathe. Any idea if that could be a factor into why I'm frequently sick?

Regarding your concern you should do rhinoplastic surgery for the deviation of the septum.
