Taking Nightquil For Flu. Reddish Bumps With A Tear Inside The Nose Due To Scratching. Anything To Be Done?

Hi doctor I am 17year old female and I caught the FLU on Monday of the 31 in December, I took nightquil medication for it. I feel much better now I just have a few headaches at time to time, my problem is I scratched inside my nose to hard and now I have a cut inside my nose and on the right side of my nostril I have little red bumps. Can you help me?

Use Neosporin ointment for local application gently in the nostril. The little red bump is not to be worried about as most like will a turbinate (normal thing). Avoid scratching or touching the area further.
