Hello
It seems from the history that had follicles in nose and for which you were treated with antibiotic in the form of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Tobramycin being a antibitoic and this can be used safely for topical application.
Along with antibiotics use of anti-inflammatory drugs like iibuprofen will provide symptomatic improvement as follicle is an inflammatory condition caused by infection.
Thank you
