What Causes Pain In The Nostrils And Bruise In The Cartilage?

I am a 38 yr old female, 5ft 3 , 136lbs. About 5 days ago I started having pain in my right nostril. With each passing day the pain got a lil worse. It felt like the cartilage in my nose was bruised. Well today (day5) my upper front teeth on the right side started to hurt, like cold sensitive. After my shower the pain was so bad I had to shine a light up my nose to see what might be going on. I have a small indented ulcer looking spot. My nose hurts, the pain radiates into my cheek, teeth and even my eye. Any idea what this might be. Following up with doctor tomorrow.

Hello,

Is there any taruma history? Are you diabetic? Are you hypertensive? Possible causes are like folliculitis or boil or rhinitis or trauma or condritis etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet moxikind cv 625 mg twice a day for five days.

Use aceclofenac or paracetamol for pain. If symptoms not improved means please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
