What is the pain inside the nose?

The causes of pain inside the nose may be trauma to the nose, local inflammation of the nasal cavity, inflammation of the sinuses, or benign or malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and sinuses.

If the pain is caused by nasal trauma, some patients have swollen nose and the structures inside the nasal cavity are also swollen and congested, in this case, it is better to take some anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection; if it is accompanied by nasal bone or septum fracture, it should be treated promptly within two weeks after the injury. Pain caused by local factors in the nasal cavity is mostly seen in patients with rhinovestibulitis, often due to bad habits, such as a preference for picking the nose. For the treatment of nasal vestibulitis, first of all, we must correct the bad habits, secondly, we must keep the nasal cavity clean. If the pain is caused by acute and chronic rhinitis, the main treatment is based on medication. You can take oral amoxicillin clavulanate potassium, busulfan oral solution; nasal cavity can use glucocorticoid nasal spray, such as tretinoin nasal spray; nasal secretions more, you can use saline rinse nasal cavity, keep the nasal cavity moist and clean. If the pain is caused by acute sinusitis, the medication is basically the same as acute and chronic rhinitis, and if the symptoms are serious, intravenous infusion can be used as treatment. Most of the pain caused by chronic sinusitis and benign and malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and sinuses that cannot be improved by medication requires surgery and comprehensive treatment.

There are many causes of pain inside the nose, and treatment varies from disease to disease. Occasional and transient pains can be observed, while long-term and frequent pains need active examination and treatment.
