Surgical correction of a deviated septum will only allow for a easier flow of air and/or mucus through the area.

If the problem is allergies, surgery will not resolve it at all as it is a response of your body’s immune system. The surgery will only allow the allergic reaction to flow through easier.

Have you tried other non-surgical interventions yet?

I have had persistent sinus problems for years, until recently when a new doctor recommended using a sinus rinse rinse. It got rid of a sub-clinical sinus infection and I have been less affected by colds since I started using it regularly.
