Question 3

i got cut in the nose opening and put ethanol in both openings of nostrils. would i damage anything by that? would cause damage to myself or get ph disbalance of nose?

Accepted Answer

: What you did will not cause any lasting damage. If you still have the cut you may apply triple antibiotic cream to control infection.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Need eval: your symptoms are concerning for a problem that is not benign. Several things are on the list of what this could be. Too long to cover all of them in this format. Recommend you see your doctor for evaluation as soon as possible. Best of luck. Dr. R

Question 5

if someone breathes or talks and has a cut in their mouth or nose, are they breathing/spitting out blood? enough to infect someone with hiv?

Accepted Answer

No need 2 worry: HIV is best transmitted from injection drugs, where blood to blood contact occurs. Someone talking, shouting or whatever is not going to be an HIV risk. Kissing is considered safe.  Only when there is active, significant bleeding would I be concerned. Even then, if the source patient is taking HIV meds, the small risk drops even further.

Question 6

can someone tell me how long will a nose cut take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Superfast healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Simple antibiotic ointment daily will do the trick in about a week or so.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Cut inside nose: Hello, when a sore is present inside your nose for any longer than 2-3 days, it needs to be evaluated by your doctor. It could be an infection that needs specific antibiotics.

Question 9

how can you take care of cuts on your nose caused by glasses?

Accepted Answer

You should: Have an optician change the nose pads to bigger and softer ones.  Also try to wear the glasses as little as possible until the cuts are healed.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Consultation: I would recommend that you look for a consultation with your ENT physician or at Urgent Care. If the would is not healing, that is something that you need to get checked. Hope this helps.
