Cocaine nose problem? Help please

Well I was in Peru and i tried cocaine, I instantly fell in a cocaine binge that night, next day woke up with a sinus infection, it has been two months sense that incident and I still do not feel the same. My nose hurts and is still a little stuffy. I get heacace sometimes threwout the day. Did I permanently mess myself up from a one time cocaine abuse?

I also hope everyone learns from my mistake, do not ever try anytype of drugs.

Hi, I suggest going back to your doctor to have a full check up and tests.  You may still have a low grade sinus infection in the upper sinuses which could explain the headaches.  Other signs will be pain in the face around the nose, upper cheekbones and along the brow bone.

Your doctor may want to do a CT scan to see if the upper sinuses are enflamed.  Good luck!

Since cocaine is not produced under sterile conditions, touched by many hands and contains additives, I am not surprised you got an infection. Or a virus (cold). The mucus membranes of the nose are thin and fragile and easily inflamed. I don't think the damage is permanent. Please, say no to drugs!
