Hi there...I went to see another doc today, for my left ear and sinus
infection,which has lasted for almost 2 months now. The ear specialist
doc, said my left ear looks fine from examination, but I still have
some nagging pain. So I was referred to another new rhinologist doc,
and this doc said that I have septal deviation on my left side and
recommended surgery.Has any of you guys done this before? If yes, do
you feel better after that? I had rhinoplasty (not plastic surgery)done
about 10 years ago, which is also to straigthen the bone inside my
nose,back then the ENT doc told me I would feel much better after the
surgery...but now, I dun think I am any better at all even after the
surgery....does surgery really help???

My question is, why all of a sudden is it just being noticed that you have a deviated septum after visiting several doctors in a period of 10 years? I had...
