What is this lump in my right nostril?!
Question: What is this lump in my right nostril!?
Around two weeks ago I found a lump far up my right nostril!. It is located in that area just as the wider part of the nostril tightens!. The lump is not sore but hurts if I press it hard!. I don't think it's a deviated septum!. I suffer from sinusitis so I'm thinking this might be cause!. I plan on seeing a doctor about it but in the meantime can anyone give me any ideas on what it might be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Even though you may not think you have a deviated septum, you very well could!. And one of the common things with a deviated septum, is chronic sinusitis!. You could have a polyp blocking your nasal passage!. But it could be other things also!. Your doctor should be able to tell you what it is, and then if it is a septum problem, or a polyp they will refer you to an ENT!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It could be a polyp, a scab, or crusted mucus!. Polyps are fleshy growths that seldom cause any pain!. You can try using a saline spray frequently throughout the day to soften scabs and crusted mucus, and maybe avoid a doctor visit!. !. Www@Answer-Health@Com
