Brain vs reality

Hi all- so lately since last sept 2022 i have been struggling with a pain on the bottom of my nose on the inside this pain is pretty constant, its only on one side and it sometimes can affect my front teeth mixture of a pressure pain and nerve pain, originally i had a simple spot in my nose which cleared up following some antibiotic cream this pain came and went and i continued on with the cream and it seemed to help with the pain even when the spot was gone for a long time, back to the GP they cant see anything at all, but gave me beconaise it does work but pain comes straight back ENT said they cant see anything and said to just take amitriptalyne

(sorry for spelling) im at such a loss, dentist cant find a problem, neither can GP i am going back for my sixth appt about this and i dont know who to see after ENT! anyone else had similar.

i have in the past struggled with health anxiety years ago but could my brain really be making up these sypmtoms?? and how to tell

    that’s very puzzling. If every doctor is unable to find anything, it’s unlikely that it’s anything serious. So you are still having pain?

    Really after an ENT doctor, there’s really no other doctor to see as far as I know. Is anything relieving the pain? Wonder if it could be some type of nerve pain that the doctors can’t see Hope you’re able to find out what’s going on. keep us posted.
