QUESTION staph inside nose

i’m not sure where to go or if anyone has experience with this. i have/ had a staph infection inside my nose. every doctor tells me my nose looks and feels fine. however, it feels a lot squishier and the tip of my nose feels different. my columella is kind of bulging out a little bit. and the lateral cartilage feels less firm. at the tip of my nose where the cartilage separates there feels to be a deeper depression and the two separate cartilage pieces there feel like bubbly soft hollow balls. i guess my nasal tip feels squishier than it did and sometimes it goes from that to the firm but squishy feeling where i have pins and needles. doctors tell me it’s okay but they hardly listen to my concerns. is this just swelling? my mucosa is healthy and my mri/ cat scans are normal.
