Alright, so I got a standard nostril piercing this past saturday and have since developed an uber bad cold (I actually think I may die haha) and it’s extremely angry because of the excessive nose blowing.
What should I do to calm it down/make it better… I’ve been using sea salt spray often, but it’s really red. I’m not so sure it’s infected though.
While an infection isn’t impossible, it’s likely not the problem in this case.
As you mentioned, the pressure/irritation from blowing your nose a lot probably has the piercing seriously unhappy. Nose piercings can be a little delicate in general when they are healing, let alone when they are merely days old.
The best option is to simply be as careful as you can when blowing your nose. You obviously have to put pressure on it, but try to do it as gently as possible. Other than that, I would consider doing more a salt soak/compress than a spray. Mix a solution of salt water and then either submerge your nose in it, or saturate a gauze pad or paper towel and use that like a compress.
Get well soon!

thank you Derek!
Pretty sure my body is a very strange thing… My nose is cleared up and looks like it’s never even been angry.
How does that work haha?
