I have a deviated nasal septum and surgery isn't an option for me right now are there any long-term fixes that can help with breathing better or reducing discomfort without going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Surgery is the only way to fix a deviated septum. A deviated septum that causes no symptoms needs no treatment. If allergies or sinus problems are making symptoms worse, a healthcare professional might suggest using decongestants, antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays to manage symptoms

I've noticed that I'm always dealing with one blocked nostril, and it's really odd because it only feels unblock while I'm taking a hot shower. It's not a runny nose or anything that feels like a cold. Could this be something I should be concerned about? Is there a reason why the steam or heat from the shower might be helping?
The persistent blockage of one nostril, except during hot showers, could be due to a deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinate bones, or environmental allergies; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)
