did you know if you have a deviated septum (which i do, somehow closing off both nostrils significantly bc i'm god's least-favorite princess) you can get what's called recurring sinus infections. which is basically, since the mucus can't drain, you get the same infection over and over again. no wonder i've been sick for a month, my nose is defective.

#medical cw //#tmi //#when i went to the doctor and said ''i have a deviated septum'' and she was like ''why do you think that''#me: well i took a pic up my nose with my phone and my septum was deviated #doc: okay well lemme look #doc: (looks up my nose)#doc: oh you have a VERY deviated septum (verbatim)#it goes off to one side lower down on my right nostril and then on the OTHER side higher up on my left nostril #i don't get to breathe through my nose at all!!#no nostrils for me #EDIT: in the dr's defense it is common to have outward signs of a deviated septum #and my nose is literally perfectly straight #like when i was drawing a side profile in art class my teacher came around to give us gentle criticism #and when she saw the nose shape i'd drawn she was like ''oh be careful!#almost nobody has a perfectly straight nose - make sure you're looking at the shape of your nose and getting the bumps''#and then she looked at my nose and was like #''oh. nevermind. you're right.''
