Can I fix a deviated septum on my own...it just feels like I can..has anyone ever done it? Any meds out there?

It would be best not to do it on your own... the septum has a rich blood supply and if you damage any of the blood vessels while trying to fix it on your own, the bleeding may prove difficult to control and you may end up paying more than you would right now.

Saw it on Sportscenter in my gym.  Touched a nerve -- my son has the same condition, and actually made the basketball team this year, but quit because other kids made him feel like he didn't belong.  He obsessed about it for months.\n\nhere's the story:

I tend to agree with the above person. Although there seems to be quite a bit of info on the internet, it's often better to have it explained to you by an expert. There are different treatment modalities, that I won't go into here. Best to speak in depth with your childs doctor. Best of wishes.\n\nHave you discussed surgical options?

I'm no doctor, but i am an anatomy student so heres an IDEA:\n (i say idea b/c i don't want you to take it as a professional opinion)\nIt may be genetics, maybe you overstretched it, like in a yoga class?\nYou'd need to ask your doctor, but does it matter how you did it? All you really need to know is how to fix it. Ask your doctor about light stretching excersises. For example, in the morning you would get out of bed and lean over until your hands meet the floor. of course, ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!\nSo, call your physician and ask him/her about it.\nBest of luck to you!

I don't know what to tell you. I have constant allergies so I feel your pain. I've been to many doctors about my problems and they all throw allegra or nasal sprays (which don't work cuz I have a deviated septum) at me. Prescriptions aren't worth it anyway because they're so expensive. I take Loratadine 10 mg daily also (which is generic Claritin) and it gives some relief. Also, I recommend(which I also do) you take Benadryl on very bad days (if you can handle it knocking you out all day) where the Loratadine doesn't quite do it for you. The only other thing I can think of, which I haven't tried yet, is homeopathic medicine. I have used homeopathic medicines in the past for my son and have had wonderful results. There is a company that I use frequently called Hyland's and they make a slew of homeopathic medicines for almost any ailment you can think of. They do make a homeopathic allergy medicine. You can start at luckyvitamin.com to check out homeopathic remedies or do a search for Hyland's homeopathic allergy relief/medicine. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Congrats!!! Hope you did that under doctor supervision. It can be very dangerous to try to with-drawl from any tranquilizer on your own.

my daughter had nose bleeds more then 10 times a month.  this has been going on for a few years a doctor put her on nasonex and it worked for a while.  two weeks ago i took her to a specialist and he cauterized it.  said her blood vessel were not cover by any thing and just moving the wrong way would make it bleed.  has only had one bad one and that was the day she had it done.  had a few little ones the next few days after but has been good since.  if i were you i would get to the doctors. cuz my friends mom started doing it and they said she has hi blood pressure.

The deviated septum is verified by a simple x-ray that shows how much the bone or cartilage are off center. It is quite possible to have more than one problem. I had a deviated septum AND allergies. Correcting the deviated septum helped me tolerate the allergies better, because I could clear the nasal passages easier.

Been there, done that. I have a stent in my right coronary artery. It has been there for over 5 years. Never any problems. I feel for you with the problem you had before. That's terrible, must have been very scary. I hope you have better luck this time. It may save your life. God bless and good luck!

I'd advise you to tell a parent or a very trusted adult about this. It sounds like you need a good medical exam to rule out any possible health problem and then your doctor may refer you to a therapist.\n\nThere's nothing weird about you at all, you just need some help right now to sort this out and find out what's wrong so that you can be treated. \n\nDon't deal with this on your own any longer; talk to someone and get some help. \n\nTake good care of yourself :)

BreathRight works for me.  I tried paper clips, straws, nothing worked. Then it dawned on me...outside of the nose no inside. \n\nPeople try this and ask me, "Do you realize how well this works?"\n\nI say, "Of course I do, I invented them"

I'm waiting on surgery to have my left eye operated on. i don't know any procedures around that will fix a catarrh without surgery as you need to have your bad lens removed and a new one put there. I've had my right eye done and can see through it perfectly. i cant see a thing through my left eye. the longer you leave it the worse it get, believe me i know.

See a doctor, you need professional advice...;

You might want to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist.  I thought I had allergies, but it was a deviated septum.  Do you have a hard time breathing when you get sick?  Could be a deviated septum.

My mum had the same problem.  It turned out she had nasal pollops. I can't really tell you much about them.  My mum had them quarterised, and this stopped the problem.  It might be worth asking your GP?
