Wondering if there's any home remedies to help a deviated septum to not get worse at home? (photo)

lexipetersonMay 4, 2016
I know I can't fix a deviated septum but I wanted to know if there's anything I can do to make sure it doesn't get worse without getting surgery, because it's a very mild one. My nose does hurt sometimes so I want to know if there's anything I can either put in my nose, outside of my nose, or even to just take like medicine to help make sure the deviated septum stays the same and not get worse. Thank you

Dear raynahamieh, I would suggest seeking a follow up appointment with your surgeon so he/she can do an examination and give you a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if needed. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

All perforated septums will have a scab that fills the hole. Using antibiotic ointment intranasally helps so does irrigation. . If it continues to be infected get it repaired. It is a lingeringing infection that impares your healthdd

I wish you a lot of luck and sucess. The doctor I know charges much less and has operated on tons of them. Out of network is always a fight that shouldnt happen.
