I'd much rather have curlers in my hair, if you got the reference... My nose has been getting more and more plugged lately from all the pus and blood scabs. Today, I noticed I have a huge whitehead INSIDE my nostril. Joy. Always a new side effect, right?! The positive is that one doesn't NEED their nose to breathe, right? Here's hoping the Keflex works as well as before on the nostril issues.

Are you seeing an ENT? Your nose issues need to be dealt with. Are sinus infections the base cause, or sores in the nasal membranes. You might ask about culturing the discharge to determine whether the cause is bacterial, viral, or fungal so that you are being treated correctly. I should have done that when my sinus infections were out of control.

Sterimar from most pharmacies will probably help a lot. You spray a couple of squirts up your nose and it eases the congestion and helps make your use easier to blow. If that doesn't work, your GO might give you steroid nasal spray. Mine did twice and it didnt work at all; I will hopefully be speaking them today to get a course of antibiotics, because everything is now worse.
