Hi!
What kinds of symptoms are you experiencing?
Are you sure that the deviated septum is causing them?
Generally, a deviated septum doesn't cause any symptoms and it doesn't need to be treated. Sometimes, it may obstruct the passage of air through the nostrils, which can lead to sinusitis and nosebleeds.
You're really going to have to talk to your doctor about this to determine what's causing your symptoms, if you need mediciation or some other treatment, and what specific medication or treatment you'll need.
Good luck!
