I Had A Bad Cold With Some Bacteria In The

I had a bad cold with some bacteria in the nostril. ENT said I had some colonies in nose soUsed Bacrtoban for 3 days and slight pain in my nose went away per ENT. I stopped the bactroban after 3 days because I was not sleeping but I was also using Nasocort and maybe that was the culprit.

Cold gone sinus not infected but having some pain that feels like a tooth ache and slight tickle or sting in nostrils when breathing. Left septum is a little enlarged. internist said to start the Bactraban on March 31 again but I Had a CT scan on Friday April 1 and everything is clear. The ENT who read the CT said I did not need to do anything. I do not think I described by situation to him adequately. I am very sensitive to drugs and I over react to possible side effects. I am not taking and do not take any medications but I was wondering about the Bactraban. The pain is about a 2 or 3 on a 10 scale but enough to keep me up most of the night. I have been to three doctors and a dentist in the past week and I am not clear about what to do. I am going to call again on Monday but I think they will see this as a nuisance. I am a caregiver for my wife and I cannot afford to be missing sleep and being sick.
