How To Treat An Inflamed And Painful Nostril?
I have inflammed tissue in one nostril, which is quickly moving from my nostril opening toward the facial area... leading to the boney area and eye area. Origionally, I thought it was a pimple inside my nose, but that does not seem to the the problem. It's causing extreme pain within the nose area- including the bone and cartalidge, the area around and under the eye, and causing extreme headaches. Without health insurance, and having just moved- so no physician in the area yet, I'm trying to figure out home remedies. Ice packs are definately NOT working. Any suggestions? Would crocodile oil work?
