Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have an extremely sore right nostril. I have had a cold but the cold symptoms have pretty much gone away but the inside of my nose is incredibly sore and if I don t keep it moist with saline or vicks rub I get big, hard painful dried mucus in there.
The symptoms seem to be related to the cold. I suggest to: 1- Avoid nose picking 2- Avoid blowing nose roughly 3- Use saline nasal spray to avoid dryness 4- Along with it steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil in it, it will help in making the secretion thin 5- Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
