How To Treat The Scab Under The Nose And The Snot Coming Thereby?

I had a scab form under the very middle of my nose about 10 days ago and now I have so much snot coming and it builds up along with blood and creates scabs, as well as totally stopping up my nose sometimes. It's also painful when my face moves certain ways and sometimes it gives me headaches. What can I do to fix this?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having congestion in nose giving rise crust and scab formation in the nose.
Clean the nose and apply antibiotic cream.
Take some decongestant medicine.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days to clear infection.
Do not try to remove scab.
Ok and take care.
