Can't breath!
I woke up with a sore throat and my right nostril hurts really bad and is swollen and really runny. I can't control it at all. Can hardly breath out of that side. It hurts to scrunch my nose to touch or to sneeze. I looked in there and there was what it looked like a white head pimple but I don't know if that's what it is because it hurts that whole side. Has anyone else had this! Any advise?
It is gone finally!! I do have a sinus infection now. But the pain is gone after two days of ibuprofen and hot compress! Thanks!

Hello and hope you are doing well.
You could be having an upper respiratory infection. Also, the acute pain could be due to a pimple. You could apply warm compress and for pain relief you can use OTC Tylenol (acetaminophen). Try using an OTC saline spray. Avoid blowing your nose too hard till the sores heal and use a soft Kleenex. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation.
