2 weeks ago left nostril got red and itchy in the deeper section, and then the outside skin of my nose got red and puffy like Rudolf and I was put on a 5 day course of flucloxacillin. Then it started getting worse again so put on another 5 days of flucloxacillin. Now the second course is complete, the outside of my nose is a little red but mostly calmed down, but inside of my left nostril is still bright red, a little puffy and itchy. Is there anything OTC I can buy as won't be able to see Dr for a while? It's been around 15 days since it started without change. Thank you.
