Suggest Treatment For Pain And Bleeding In Nose
Hi I am experiencing a hard crusty mucus build up in my nose and it goes hard and is very uncomfortable. If picked it is very painful and either bleeds or just hurts. It will rebuild throughout the day and causes more pain everyday. Is there anything I can take?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having congestion in nasal cavity leading to some soreness and infection giving bleeding and mucous.
Take some decongestant medicine for 3-4 days.
Put some decongestant nasal drops like Otrivin nasal drops.
Do not try to remove crusts from the nose, it will delay healing and produce more bleeding.
you can apply antibiotic cream in nasal cavity.
Ok and take care.
