What Is Post Nasal Drip?

3. Deviated Septum
Our noses are separated into two separate cavities thanks to the septum, which is a bony ridge that runs down the center of our nose. This ridge is usually quite straight, creating two separate cavities that are roughly equal in size, but this is not always the case.
Some people will have what is known as a deviated septum. This means that the septum is misaligned rather than straight, and this can lead to complications including nasal drip. Some people are born with a deviated septum, but others will acquire one after picking up an injury to the nose in one way or another.
