A member asked:

I fell and bumped my nose on a kitchen counter really hard. i got flu 3 days later thats not going away. my septum has moved and is blocking part of my one nostril- could this be causing the flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nasal injury: The nasal injury can lead to a congested nose and even sinus congestion and headache rather than influenza. Since your injury was significant,I recommend that you be evaluated and treated by an Otolaryngologist.
