Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have deviated septum along with serial sneezing ,running nose, itchy irate nose, nose block . I this you should try medicines like antibiotics , decongestants along with saline nasal rinses first . Well if you are not getting better despite medical therapy, you may consider surgery to correct your deviated septum (septoplasty). Septoplasty is the usual way to repair a deviated septum. During septoplasty, your nasal septum is straightened and repositioned in the center of your nose. In some cases, surgery to reshape the nose (rhinoplasty) is also performed at the same time as septoplasty. So i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and decide the treatment option according to diagnosis .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
