A deviated septum does not usually cause neck pain.
A deviated septum is a nasal septum that is bent to one or both sides of the nose due to natural developmental causes, trauma, inflammation, tumors, and other causes. A deviated septum can cause nasal congestion, headaches, nosebleeds and other symptoms, but not neck pain.
1. Nasal congestion: A deviated septum affects the ventilation of the nasal passages and causes nasal congestion.
2. Headache: Deviated septum compresses the inferior turbinate or middle turbinate, which can cause reflex headache on the same side.
3. Nosebleed: the mucous membrane of nasal septum in the prominent part of deviated septum is directly stimulated by airflow and dust, and the mucous membrane is dry and crusted, which is prone to erosion and bleeding.
4. Other symptoms: deviated nasal septum impedes sinus drainage can induce purulent sinusitis, such as affecting the ventilation and drainage of the Eustachian tube, can cause tinnitus, ear closure, can also cause snoring and other symptoms.
If you have a deviated septum, please go to the ENT department of the hospital.
