Symptom #9: Facial Pain

Since patients with a deviated septum often experience nasal congestion, it can also result in facial pain which can be associated with headaches. This facial pain can be felt behind the eyes, in the upper jaw, soft palate, back of the nose, temple, neck, and occiput. It is often associated with a red face and tearing.

It can be managed with medication used for sinus decongestion. While there may be some debate about the symptom of facial pain in those with deviated septum, it is certainly possible when a severely deviated septum impacts the inside of the nasal wall causing facial pain on the same side.
