I hurt myself while jumping in a play arena, trying to do flips. I ended up landing awkwardly, and my knees were really close to my nose, which I think led to some impact. I started bleeding from my nose right after. A few people around helped me out, and the swelling from the impact disappeared after a bit. But now, my nose hurts whenever I touch it, and it feels like the cartilage separating my nostrils is a bit shifted to the right. Should I be worried about this?

I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and cold last week and, thankfully, that's all cleared up. But now I'm dealing with this really unpleasant musty smell coming from my nose. It's really bothering me, and I just want it to go away as soon as possible. Can you suggest what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?

Rinse your nose with normal saline,take cetrizine tablet for 3 days, maintain hygiene,if it's still there, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been reading up on the benefits of taking cold showers, and I'm considering making it a part of my daily morning routine. But I've got a slight sinus infection right now and I'm worried that a cold shower might make it worse. Do you think this is something I should avoid, or is it still okay to go ahead with?

Taking daily cold showers with a slight sinus infection may exacerbate your condition, as cold water can cause nasal passages to constrict, increase mucus production, and potentially worsen sinus congestion; however, some people find that cold showers help reduce inflammation and improve circulation, which may alleviate sinus symptoms.
