A deviated septum can cause breathing issues and discomfort. Here are some non-surgical treatments to consider:
- **Nasal Strips**: Use nasal strips to help open nasal passages. These can be purchased over-the-counter.
- **Humidifiers**: Using a humidifier can keep nasal passages moist, easing breathing.
- **Decongestants**: Over-the-counter decongestants can reduce nasal swelling.
- **Antihistamines**: Useful if allergies cause nasal congestion, consult with a doctor first.
