A member asked:
With a nose piercing infection, how long do i have to soak and clean my nose until the infection is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose infection: Did you take an antibiotic? If there was pus from the piercing, i would have recommended an antibioitc for a week. After that i would do the soaking and cleansing routine just for another week.
