Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Following are my suggestions ma'am:

+Stop putting anything in your nose
+Also please stop snorting at the earliest
+Avoid picking your nose
+Just either use vaseline or neosporin cream inside your nostrils
+Use an ice pack on top of your nose
+After 4-6 hours from putting either of the above (vaseline or neosporin) flush your nose with water 5-10 times

Burning is expected from snorting and all you need to do is stop snorting coke or meth, and within time you will be fine. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
