I have been told that I have a deviated septum. What should I do?

You may want to consider getting a septoplasty, which is a surgical procedure to correct the deviated septum. It can be done in your doctor's office or an outpatient surgery center. The procedure involves making an incision in your nose and removing the bone and cartilage that are causing the problem. After the surgery, you will likely need to wear a splint for a few weeks to keep your nose from collapsing.
