I use to have repeated sinus infections. My USAF ENT doctor investigated and found I had “deviated septum issues.” My septum was bent until is had nearly closed one nostril. She said she could resolve the problem by straightening the septum and cleaning out the massive scar tissue in my sinus cavities. She performed the operation and I was breathing through my nose with no problems. She said it looked like I had broken my nose at sometime, thus resulting in the deviated septum.

i might look into that...the surgery doesn’t sound too bad in terms of recovery

I used to get a sinus headache about every three weeks for my entire life. Had surgery for a deviated septum a few years ago. Not a single sinus headache since then. Still get congested at times, but am able to clear out my sinuses much better.

And that is the ONLY way to improve a deviated septum
