Nose septum feels numb for 3 months after one time cocaine use

[dankeviciustomas]

I snorted about 100 mg cocaine on New years party and since then I have numbness in my nose septum. However the thing is that I read thousands of articles and people's opinions about cocaine and there is no numbness as a long term side effect of cocaine. But I am certain that my numbness is due to that cocaine use. What do you think has happened to my nose? I visited ENT specialist but he said that there is nothing wrong in my nose and it will heal, just need time for that to happen. But I am starting to think that it is a permanent damage since I haven't felt any improvement since that day. My nose is constantly in numb condition. It feels like in that part where cocaine touched my septum I have no sensation. If I make my nose skin to stretch a bit I have to scratch my nose because it feels like someone is tickling inside of my nose. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening to me and will this thing heal or not? THANK YOU.

It doesn't sound likely that its damaged from just one time use and the ENT didn't see any visual damage. Maybe try some saline flush for your nose or even a spray? You could try to boil some water and then pour into a bowl, and then lean over the bowl with a towel draped over to trap the humidity and just breathe in through your nose. This will cause you to eventually "drip snot" from your nose. This way you can effectively empty out your nasal fossa. Hope this helps!
