Septal Deviation of 5-6mm and Nasal Septal Spur: Severe Enough to Need Septoplasty?

KateGray
I have had constant nasal congestion, head aches, sinus infections, ear infections, pressure in my ears, and post nasal drip for a while now. I recently got health insurance because I no longer live with my parents and can't be covered under their policy. My dr. gave me claritan, an antibiotic, singular, nasonex, and flonase. nothing improved my breathing after two weeks on all of the meds so my dr. ordered the ct scan of my paranasal sinuses those were my results. Will I need surgery?
