How To Treat Bump On Inside Of Nose?
I have a bump on the inside of my nose for a couple weeks. Initially it hurt but currently doesn t. I use a netty pot - nearly daily (helps keep down sinus infection to one or two a year) Should I be worried about this as it is getting better, but isn t going away?

Hello,
It could be a polyp or turbinate enlargement. As a first line management decongestant drops like xylometazoline or oxymetazoline can be tried. If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated. In severe cases surgical correction may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
