What is nasal spur?

A nasal spur is a bony growth or projection from the nasal septum, which is the cartilage and bone structure that divides the nasal cavity into two nostrils. It can cause nasal obstruction, discomfort, or contribute to sinus problems. Nasal spurs can be congenital or develop over time due to factors such as trauma or chronic inflammation. In some cases, treatment may involve surgery to remove the spur if it causes significant symptoms.
