What Is a Deviated Septum?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Facial Pain
Another unwelcome symptom of a deviated septum is that it can cause considerable pain for the patient. This is especially the case if it has been acquired recently thanks to an injury. The pain is sometimes enough to compel the patient to do something about the deviation to help relieve them of the pain.
Some patients may also find that the pain they experience from a deviated septum gradually gets worse over time. In addition to face pain, a deviated septum can also sometimes cause a headache. If these symptoms are becoming too uncomfortable for you then you should speak with a medical professional for advice on what to do.
