Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Fecal Matter In Nose Cause Sore Throat And Sinus?
This may sound very silly, but it's true...I accidentally got a small amount of fecal matter in my right nostril. I cleaned it out, but after a few days I am starting to have sinus issues, runny nose, sore throat. Could that be the cause or just a common cold?
dear friend in all likely hood you may just be having a cold and it was a coincidence but to be doubly sure please do get a culture of the secretions from your nose done. it will clear up things and also your doubt, if there grows any organism it can be treated with appropriate antibiots
