Would fixing my deviated septum fix a post nasal drip and bad breath?

Question

My septum is deviated which I think has caused my chronic post nasal drip, I have foul smelling saliva/breath from my throat

Suleyman Tas, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question, nasal drip might be due to allergy,  fixing the deviated septum helps to improve the functionality of nose slightly. A complete septorhinoplasty procedure fixes inside issues and improves the functionality of nose and at the same time it improves the appearance as well.Best of Luck, Regards,

I would not do a septoplasty for those reasons; however it can help the post-nasal drip slightly. Generally that is caused by allergies and fixing the anatomy won't completely obliterate that but having improved airflow doesn't hurt.
