I Have a Chronic Cough from 8 Years. Is my Septal Deviation Causing the Cough?

 It would be very unlikely that your cough is caused form septal deviation.  A deviated septum will restrict your airway which can add to sinus problems.  Best of luck. Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.

  A deviated septum does not cause a chronic cough. He deviated septum causes careful restrictions of the nose the tube blockage on one or both sides of the nasal cavity. Chronic cough  can be caused from numerous different sources such as gastric reflux, chronic sinus disease, asthma, and medications.

Septal deviations are a structural problem within the nasal cavity which causes obstruction of airflow through the nose. Coughs are due to irritants lower in the airway from your vocal cords down to the lungs. Chronic coughs can be due to medications or chronic infections, as well. A chronic cough for 8 years should definitely be evaluated. Contact your family physician to make the appropriate consultations to determine the cause of your cough.
