Sore , Tender Nose (Part II)

[Sandymac]

Hi,
  I thought I'd start a new thread since the original one was getting a little long. I can't believe the number of posts with the exact symptoms I've been experiencing for 2 days. Started off with just a headache, then woke to this odd pain on the bridge and side of my nose. Hurts when you touch it.. just as though a pimple may be starting OR someone has punched me.Slight swelling and headache. There are no "internal" nasal symptoms except occasional runny nose. It seems from what I've read to be an infection of sorts ? Cellulitis? I guess if not gone by Sunday, it warrants a trip to ENT Monday. I'm in SW Florida .. I usually don't reply to older posts, but once I saw the thread, I couldn't believe this is so widespread. Would appreciate any additional insight anyone may have..Thanks

I had strep throat 2 weeks ago and finished 10 days of antibiotics (amoxicillin) and two days after finishing the antibiotic I have developed the same odd nose symptoms as Sandymac...tenderness and slight swelling on the bridge of my nose and on the right side.  Feels like I got hit in the nose but I didn't and it's been 3 days and no relief. Slight clear sinus drainage but no fever or redness and the area doesn't feel warm to the touch so I hesitate to think it's an infection, especially since I just finished a round of antibiotics. It is literally giving me a headache.  Ice doesn't help with the swelling; advil helps the pain somewhat.  Not sure what to think or if I should be worried enough to see a doctor.  Guess I'll give it the weekend (it's friday night) and see if it clears up but if anyone has any advice or answers please share :-)
