Brief Answer:
Cocaine can complicate septal issues

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your attached query in detail.

Deviated nasal septum is an independent surgical deformity in your case.

Chronic cocaine use can lead to septal perforation and can worsen the septal issues.

It's advisable to consider a latest high resolution CT scan of nose and consider surgical correction of the deviated septum through septoplasty.

Physical Consultation with an otolaryngologist is mandatory for the same.

Review with Reports to determine further course of action.

It's advisable to quit cocaine intake before septal complications escalate.

Post your further questions if any.

Thank you.
