Hi everyone! About two days ago I noticed a somethign that looked like a pimple on the right-sided tip of my nose, which I popped without any issues. A few hours later, a little higher up and on the left side around the supratip region I began having pain. It has gotten progressively worse to the point where it is very tender to touch and hurts to move my nose and now it seems to have a small bump and even pulsate at the spot where the pain is the most intense. However, the inside of my nose is completely fine. No unordinary bumps or tenderness.
Normally, I would not be concerned. However, two years ago (to the week) I had an inferior turbinate reduction and septoplasty due to a nasal fractures and a deviated septum and I am concerned I somehow messed that up. Additinally, two weeks ago I had a root canal on a molar on my right side with no complications that began to hurt really badly around two days ago as well. I saw my dentist and he perscribed me antibiotics. Not sure if this could somehow be related.
At this point I guess I'm worried that there is some type of infection going on versus me somehow re-injurying my nose. I know I am being a worry-wart but I tend to have weird things happen to me if I leave things unoticed but I really don't want to go back to the ENT especially after just going back to my dentist yesterday. I also work at a trauma center and am exposed to a bunch of infections, but have never had an issue in the past (and am too embarassed to ask any of the doctors I work with about my symptoms)
