Suggest Remedy For Missing Back Part Of Septum
I had a cleft pallet at birth and 45 years later according to a laryngologist, the back part of my septum is missing. Every time I eat, food and mucous collects in my nasal passages causing me to constantly feel like I have to clear this mucous and food from my passages. Is there a way to fix this? Rebuild the septum?
