What Is The Cure For Sores In Right Nostril With Green Mucus In Septum?

Hi I have been using every weekend since July and now it's almost January. I'm suddenly realizing I don't want to have this addiction anymore. I just want to stop. I'm getting a sore In my right nostril and it looks like my septum has green mucus on it. Not a whole lot but there is a tiny bit. Do you have any idea what I should do? Get it checked out? Take any particular nasal spray? Thanks cj

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding sore in right nostril with green mucus.

Your symptoms and clinical history favors nasal infection it may or may not be associated with sinusitis , nasal polyp , deviated septum or allergy.

To manage it you should go for-

1- C.T. Scan of paranasal sinuses.

2- Culture and sensitivity of nasal discharge.

3- Blood - CBC, ESR, blood sugar (F & PP)

4- If nasal cavity has granulation than biopsy.

Beside this a thorough examination of ENT is must to get physical findings and their co-relation with inferences of above investigations will disclose the facts for diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established treatment may be plan accordingly.

Regards.
