See ENT: You may have done some damage to your nasal passages. Would see ENT to see if there is any damage. Would seek counseling regarding the drug abuse.

Yoi!!!!: Your decision making is obviously seriously challenged.Do not make it wores by ignoring potentially a serious problem of nasal erosion. See the ENT and then the psych doc to help with the problems that led to the snorting in the 1st pkace.
