Asked By:gmann43 in Humble, TX

Just wondering if a moderate to severe nasal valve collapse can cause chronic infections, as i've been told i have an external nasal vavle collapse and keep getting one infection after another. On avelox rt now after allergist did rhinoprobe and found infection in sinuses. Problem is i keep having chronic infections that start in sinuses and go down into lungs. Also have slightly deviated septum. Thanks for all responses.
