Suggest Treatment For Blister Inside Nostril And Swelling In Left Ear

default
Posted on Thu, 7 Aug 2014
Question: On Friday, I had a nose blister inside my right nostril, and swelling in my left ear, went to Dr. prescribed antibiotics, antibacterial ointment for my nose, and liquid for my ear. I used meds per px from Friday pm to Sunday and continuing. On Sunday morning, I started to experience a) body aches whole body b) pounding headaches all day long, and c) fever. Headaches are pounding and located on the right side of my head and forehead area, worse at night. I discontinued intranasal bacterial ointment immediately for fear of side fx. Dr., what is my possible diagnoses and treatments? I have never had a history of above in my life. In addition, for past year, I have been waking up with what look like insect bites on my buttocks, legs, foot, and arm. I suspect a Staph infection. Again, never had these types of s/x in my life. Thank you.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello madam,

Please start the antibiotic ointment immediately. Blisters in the nose can result in complications like abscess formation and cavernous sinus thrombosis. Headache can be a sign of impending complication. Please see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out complications.

Oral antibiotics of the penicillin group are the preferred antibiotics.
