Default Nose pain and swelling...

I am also so glad to find this thread. I was looking yesterday and could find nothing on nose inflammation, but today looking for nose swelling I found this (thanks to Google).

If any of you who've posted could let us know the outcome and what you found it to be, what helped, when it went away.... that would be great!

I started to notice a small pain in the middle of my nose 2 days ago, thought maybe it was a pimple inside or something like that. The second day it felt more sore and swollen. Both sides of my nose got bigger and it was red and bumped up in the middle of my nose, near the top. Like someone else said, it felt like someone punched me in the nose! Today it still hurts and looks big and red.

I do have allergies and they're getting worse these days. Advil does help and I have some Allegra D I'm taking from a year ago. Just stopped nursing baby thankfully (she's 13 months) so I'm free to take whatever.

I don't have insurance, and am procrastinating as well. Also taking some vitamins to maybe help ward this thing off--echinacea, C, garlic, grapefruit seed extract, apple cider vinegar, and oregano oil. These are home remedies I've used in the past for sinus infections and they did work!

So it sounds like maybe antibiotics are needed. Don't like taking those, but I guess sometimes you have to. I must say it's nice to see other people experiencing the same thing, even though it's no fun!!
