Suggest Remedy For Tenderness On Nose
Hello my name is David. lately I have been having some annoying buggers especially on the inside walls of my nose and are usually mixed with blood. After Ive picked them out, they return maybe one to two hours after. And also have a really tough sticky green feel to them and also after blowing my nose it leaves behind a bad smell left in my nose and my nose is tender to the touch. This has never been something i have experienced up till now. What do you think is causing this and what do you think I should do. Also is there anything i can try at home before I go see the doctor.

Hi,
I feel you had increased nasal secretions (following common cold, could be allergic to start with followed by secondary infection of bacteria making the secretions yellow or cold. These secretions collected on and dried on your nasal internal skin (mucus membrane to form hard scans, picking them caused injury and bleeding. The raw area thus created got easy deposits of the secretions and vicious circle continued.
Self care consists of clearing nose regularly, apply antibiotic ointment like Soframycin over the counter to affected part of nose in form of thin film. Control of allergy with anti cold decongestant pill like Sinarest over the counter after eating. Visit family physician / ENT doctor for advice of suitable antibiotics as per need.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
