Have Pain In The Nostril. Have A Bone Growth In The Nostril. No Medication Till Now. Will The Bone Grow?
Nasal Bone Increase (left Nostril ) Hi Doc, I am a 27 years old male. I have been experiencing left nostril bone growth for past many years (late 90s). I can feel a bump inside on the upper side of my nostril whereas the lower part seems to be open. The right side nostril is clear. When I pull the fatty tissue of the left side nostril the breathing is pleasant and gives me relief. However I avoid doing that due to the fear of increasing the tissue which might further block the pathway. The breathing is normal in summers but in winters it gives me lot of problems especially due to dry mucus . The problem worsens when there is dust or smoke in the air. lately, I also feel slight loss of smell. Kindly advice. Does the bone keeps increasing with age? What may happen if I dont get it operated for a long time? Finally is there any cure for this in homeopathy? Thanks
Hello, After reading your complaints and its relationship with climate, it should be the middle septum deviating to the left side. Bony part is there only in the nasal bridge. Take X-Ray / CT para nasal sinuses which will reveal the exact nature of the problem causing blockage. The relationship with climate, dust, smoke and loss of smell may be due to the blockage aggravating the symptoms. Consult an ENT surgeon and if septal deviation is diagnosed do a Septoplasty (sub Mucous resection of the septum). You will be totally alright. Till surgery nasal drops will be prescibed for you for the time being Best wishes for you
