Not too much.: If you use frequently, this could be a very bad sign of impending nasal septal perforation. If just a one time event, hold pressure x 5 minutes to treat mucosal irritation.

Be VERY worried: Cocaine is a serious high risk drug with definite potential for cardiac and brain damage, even sudden death. You are young, and can salvage all of this if you are pro-active. Find a drug rehab program today and fully embrace. Your choice as to what direction your future takes.
