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?

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

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat for three months, and it's really starting to get to me. I've tried a bunch of antibiotics and syrups, but nothing seems to work. I'm worried it might be something more serious since its not going away. Could you suggest what else I should try or what might be going on? I'm really looking for some advice here.
