There's a 2 question limit but I'll see what I can do.

If cortisone OTC doesn't help, it needs to be seen by a professional.

Buy a nose warmer. They sell them. Really. There's no other treament for the nose.

If you were on another pill and just switched, it's working now, G-d willing.

That's question #5!. The answer is Yes, it may.
