Oh I have genuinely got this atm I think you can get a saline thing to scoot up your nose but im scared to ask the chemist incase they ask about covid symptoms(which i havent got)

Vaseline on the inside of your nose helps. I’m just getting over a sinus infection and had the same problem.

CornishPorsche · 17/03/2020 17:12

I have ongoing issues with your. No nasal sprays have helped, and I've been using the sinus rinse twice a day as well.

The only thing that's helped was an antibiotic ointment from the doctor.

I have had this a few times and i get a prescription for naseptin from my doctor which is the only thing that clears it up.

Haggisfish · 17/03/2020 21:06

Yes I have had this and it was a strep infection that needed antibiotic cream from Gp.

Just recovered from exactly the same thing, nothing worked until I got Naseptin from the Dr.

I had this once for months and it was agony! Eventually went to Dr's about it and he said it was a small cut that would have got infected and because of where it is they don' heal. Got some cream and it went within days. Hard to say when they're so under strain but I would try and get a Dr's appointment and in the meantime don't pick it!
