    A deviated septum, which is a condition where the wall between the nostrils is shifted to one side, can potentially contribute to sinus infections. A deviated septum can result in a blocked or narrowed nasal passage, disrupting normal airflow and drainage of the sinuses. This altered airflow can lead to a buildup of mucus and create an environment where bacteria can thrive, increasing the likelihood of sinus infections. While a deviated septum itself doesn't directly cause infections, it can create conditions that make sinus infections more likely. If recurrent sinus infections are a concern, consulting a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management is advisable.
