how's your nose btw?

not sure ggg. the french pharmacies should have something good for this.

would a salt water rinse help?

hopefully someone will have some good ideas xxx

with dd, we had to soften the eye lid (if there were crusts) - we used cotton wool in boiling water (cooled down but still warm).

Then we had to massage her eye lid so that the gunk came out and then wash it gently with a mixture of boiled water (warm) with a drop or so of baby shampoo.

If it doesn't clear, you can get antibiotic eye ointment for it.

think if you bathe it with the water or the shampoo solution, that'll probably do

it may go away on its own (hopefully)

so will you have a new profile once the nose has stopped being numb or was all the work done internally?
