Blocked Nose & Deviated Septum
Is your nose constantly blocked? Stuffy noses are common, whether from a cold or from allergies. If your nose seems stuffed all the time you may have a deviated septum.
A deviated septum is a condition that affects between 70% and 80% of people. In most cases, it’s not harmful and does not cause symptoms, though in others it can have a severe impact on your quality of life.
