Question 100: I have had a sore and swollen feeling on the left side of my nose at times since I was hit in the nose 2 years ago, but I am not picky. In recent days, I went to see a doctor and was told that the nasal mucosa was atrophied, and I was given compound peppermint oil. I wonder if it is effective. What should I pay attention to in my future life? Answer: A bump on the nose is usually not so serious as nasal mucosa atrophy. I don’t know if you had any nasal bone fracture at that time. If so, it will affect the ventilation of the nose and sometimes some of the symptoms you mentioned above, but it does not matter, the symptoms you mentioned will slowly get better after a while.
