Severe nose pain

Question

Severe nose pain

Asked for Female, 39 Years

I have been having severe pain in my nose for the past 3 days. It is getting progressively worse and the pain is reaching a 10 and starting to spread. There has been no trauma and no other cold like symptoms. I am healthy with no major medical problems. My dr can't get me in until tomorrow and I am considering the ER but don't know if that is too extreme. NSAIDs, decongestants, sinus medications are not helping at all.
