View allI'm really worried because I've got this yellow pus with a terrible smell coming out of my right nostril. It's got this drainage-like odor that's just unbearable. Last month I had a lot of tooth pain, but that's gone now. The pus seems to come out whenever I bend over. I've seen a top ENT and a dentist, and they couldn't figure out what's wrong, even after an X-ray in the front of my mouth. Now they're suggesting a CT scan to diagnose it. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?
It sounds like you may have a sinus infection with a possible connection to your tooth. The yellow pus and bad smell are concerning symptoms. To help with the infection, you can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can use a nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate spray in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the sinuses. It's important to follow up with the CT scan as recommended by your healthcare providers for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

My nose is almost always blocked and I use otrivin every day. Doctors say I have a swollen nose bone and need minor surgery, but is there any other option? I feel like I might be addicted to otrivin what should I do?
Your nose blockage, Otrivin overuse, and a swollen nose bone that requires minor surgery are all connected issues. The frequent use of Otrivin, a nasal decongestant, can lead to rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa), where the nasal passages become more swollen and congested when the medication's effect wears off. This prolonged congestion can also lead to structural changes, such as a swollen nose bone, which may require surgery to correct.
