How Can Painful Bumps In The Nostrils Be Treated?
Question: I have a painful and swollen nose with painful bumps on the inside. What's wrong with me?
Brief Answer:
Probably a bacterial infection, follow the advice below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection.
This infection can be caused by bacteria that infiltrate through the nose.
If you were my patient I would recommend to:
- use prescribed antibiotics. You can discuss with your doctor about this treatment
- use prescribed antibiotic ointments
- take ibuprofen for the pain
- apply warm compresses
- avoid pinching and blowing the nose
If you don't get better at drainage is needed.
Hope my answer was helpful.
