hmm ok so i went on a coke binge which i honestly have never done before (this was great quality coke)and damn my nose is messed up! Well my nose is constantly stuffed now and i think maybe i'm getting a sinus infection or something. I do K more than I do coke normally and this never happens with K. Is this just related to coke? Or putting things up your nose in general.. and what can i do to ease the situation? Could I be getting a sinus infection?
 
I've never had the problem so my suggestion may not help much, but herbal cayenne pepper supplements (if you can't find the pure ones, some combinations have it or you can put some on your food or something) work well in clearing up stuffy noses and sinuses. Also, saline nasal spray ("Ocean" is supposedly very good) is good at soothing dried out and irritated membranes in your nose. Good luck! :)

do not try and blow your nose hard, or force it to clear...
it seems inflamed, which means that its obviousely hurt.
I reccomend u see your doctor, u dotn have to tell them about your coke trip, but they will tell u the best form of anti-biotics.
I would have to say that i think it IS the coke, because, compared to the ketamil/katamine etc it is much more potent/stronger,
therefor it harms your passage ways more.
The best advice i can give is to let it heal naturally, and do not rail in excessive.
 
Use saline nasal spray even when you're not doing coke, if your nose has chronic effects from it. And don't pick the scabs. ;)
 
i always use the extra moisterizing Afrin. clears the nasal passages AND moisterizes your nose

Be careful with Afrin use, as it can become addictive. Not addictive in the sense that narcotics are addictive, but in the sense that your nose gets used to it, and you won't be able breath through your nose without it. With that in mind, use it sparingly.
 
what i find that helps for most stuff is taking a couple squirts of some kinda saline solution.
u can pick it up at any drug store and they don't ask any questions even if u walk in high wearing phat pants and beads ;p
but u can even make some up too. just take an old nasal spray bottle and fill it with a salt water solution. and voila....saline
it's also been said that u can dissolve your stuff in the solution to make it easier to bump. i'm gonna try it sometime, but me thinks that u need to use a lot of drug or keep the water ammount low for the stuff to get u buzzed under 20 squirts
