Painful sores inside my nose?

Question

Last winter I had a cold & the inside of started to get all crusty & sore... Well, it's been about 7 months that I've had this, sometimes it gets worse & sometimes it's not so bad.. but recently it's been extremely painful.. My fiance cannot sleep without a fan, but I try to always have him point it away from blowing on my face... I try to tell him the fan is whats causing the sore's.. but he doesnt think so.. I used to never sleep with a fan going & I've never had this problem.. How can I get ride of these crusty & painful sores in my nose? Also alot of the time I rub my nose & it will smell kinda like I have an infection..? Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Answer 1

ok it sounds like a few things. it sounds like your sinuses are draining and its drying up at night. i get that too. the sores could just be zits. and booooy do they hurt in your nose! it could also just be where "pooled" in one place, so to speak, and is like a painful booger, best way i can think how to explain what im saying. i get that too and its hard not to pick at. i dont think over the counter sinus meds will fix it, at least it hasnt for me. more then likely youll need a stronger one, a prescribed med. the way to tell if its an infection is the color. if its green its an infection. thats what i have been told by my dr. so maybe you should just give in and see an ear nose and thorat dr to see if they can help you better. hope that helps you some.

could be cold sores or otherwise it could be from dry air. Try using a KY lubricant in nose see if that helps
