What Causes Sore Throat And Headache While Suffering From Deviated Septum?

I have a deviated septum and a few weeks ago had a head cold I am now struggling with a sore throat, head aches and fatigue. I have been using fess nasal spray and nasenex but I m guessing if this is an infection they will not help. When I do manage to release some of the gunk it s very thick and brown.

what is ur age? For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? any lymph node enlargement in neck?
Deviated nasal septum is one of major cause of the recurrent throat infection. All u need is to stay calm and meet ENT surgeon , so that u can be properly examined and investigated.
You may need antibiotics as well as ant iallergic medications along with the anti inflammatory drugs too.
Deviated nasal septum , if symptomatic , need to be treated surgically .
Meet ENT surgeon.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain and fever . Avoid cold food , daily use saline gargles
