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

May 4, 2016
Asked By:lexipeterson in Trabuco Canyon, CA

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
