Accepted Answer

I think so.: Snorting cocaine can lead to a number of long-term problems in the nose and throat, including: Nasopharyngeal mucosal inflammation and Difficulty swallowing.

Question 2

could cocaine make your nose bigger?

Accepted Answer

No: but if it causes inflammation, that could cause some temporary swelling inside the nose.  If people snort cocaine intranasally, it can cause damage to the nasal septum, the cartilage between the two nostrils, and in severe cases, a hole can form and ultimately the nose can collapse, which can have the appearance of a larger flattened nose (called a 'saddle nose deformity).

Some mechanisms might include reduced blood flow and/or unchecked infection. Cocaine use is associated with a variety of undesirable general medical and psychological adverse effects.

Question 6

does past cocaine use lead to irreversible nose damage?

Accepted Answer

Damage Is Possible: Cocaine users often snort powdered Cocaine up their nostrils so that the drug can be quickly absorbed by fine capillaries which line the nasal passages.  Cocaine is toxic to the tissue, but it also acts as an anesthetic agent so the user does not feel the tissue damage.  Chronic use can destroy the mucosa as well as erode the nasal septum.  The mucosa can regenerate but not the nasal cartilage.
