Discomfort in nostril with a yellowish patch

In my nose, the upper soft tissue of right nostril can be seen swollen and “attached” with a yellowish pus-like patch, causing mild dripping and sensitive sneezes. Feeling uncomfortable with even slight movement on the nose. May I know whether it’s an inflammation? It slowly got worse from the beginning since a week ago. Thank you.

Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, swelling inside the nose can be caused by a few problems such as:

  • Irritation due to foreign object
  • Inflammation due to allergies
  • Nasal polyp
  • Trauma or injury to the nose

You can easily get ear, nose & throat problems, but don’t let it get to you.
