Asthma and its management by medical professionals for several decades has led to newer management techniques and recent findings researchers have reported that the incidence of asthma was higher in individuals with septal deviation. The study findings were published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice on November 12, 2021.
