I looked into my nose with a magnifying lighted mirror and toward the far reaches that I could see were the bloody areas in the left nostril were. The right was not as bad. Probably not, try some over the counter Intal nasal spray. I am a recovering substance abuser. I now have a hole in the middle of my septum that goes clear through from one nostril to the other.
Septal perforation is quite common in cocaine uses.
This does not have to be done, however most patients will have chronic nasal congestion until it is repaired. I also have sore throats often when I do not have a cold. This of course was an unacceptable solution. I am a smoker and I realize that smoking is not good for the condition. Post nasal drip is very common and also very irritating.
