What Is a Deviated Septum?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Congestion
As mentioned, a deviated septum can result in a number of unwelcome symptoms for the patient. Perhaps the most common of all these symptoms is nasal congestion. With one side of the nasal cavity narrower than the other, air may not find it easy to pass through, making it difficult to breathe.
In addition, this can also lead to the sinuses becoming infected regularly, and this will result in a number of other unwelcome symptoms. Symptoms of a sinus infection include fever, chills, headache, cough, fatigue, and bad breath. Sinus infections are treatable and not usually something to be concerned about.
