Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i ve been having this soreness and pain on the top part of my left nostril....it started a couple days ago and it s become pretty painful and tender to touch. I didn t have any kind of recent trauma or anything. It s the weirdest thing when i touch that nostril near the edge of it it hurts
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nostril pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic rhinitis ,anterior ethmoidal nerve neuralgia , atrophic rhinitis , cocaine abuse , nasal polyp and furuncle. Need not to worry. For now apply warm compresses to nostril , take steam twice a day and do nasal saline rinses . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like nasal endoscopy , CT scan , blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory , anti allergic and may recommend surgery in case of nasal polyp. Avoid touching or pricking nose.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
