Thank you Dr Santos - I'm still struggling with the nose - but taking care it doesn't bleed. Had labs today - so I can't wait till I finish the chemo meds and can have the ENT doc see what they can do.

Thx again - God bless you

Hi,
How are you? Pain and inflammation can lead to an infection in cases of foreign bodies in the nose or throat.  Continue your medications as prescribed. For as long as you are taking your medications, then there is nothing to be worried about. Otherwise, you need to see a doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
