Suggest Treatment For Pain In Bottom Of Nose

Good evening Recently the bottom of my nose started to hurt, pretty much between my nostrils. It was acceptable at first, but today it started to be more painful. I even don t remember if I hit my nose, the pain just came out of nowhere. I can t even blow my nose now (I have a pretty big cold). Thanks, Pete Dickens

hello

considering the fact that you are having a cold it looks like that you may have developed a vestibulitis , which is an infection of the skin of the nostrils and this can cause a lot of pain. You can apply mupirocin ointment 2-3 times a day and avoid rubbing the area. you can also take tablet paracetamol 500 mg for the pain.Dont worry , you will be fine soon!

Take care!
