The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage that divides the nose into two somewhat equal passages (your nostrils). Sometimes the septum is crooked or off-centre resulting in the nasal passages being partially obstructed and often more narrow than usual. Do you have, or have you ever had, a deviated septum?
