Suggest Treatment For Blocked Nose And Lump Under The Eye

I have recently been to the Gold Coast for 5 days relaxation, whilst there I had a blocked nose where I had blood when I blew my nose. Then two days ago a red lump came up under my eye. I can visit my doctor tomorrow, It has been there for two days.

Hi,

Noted your history about having 5 days vacation, development of nasal blockage, blood on blowing nose and now red swelling under eye.
The possible causes can be related to the nose having some infection or can be related to a mass and so on.
I would advise you the following:
Anyways you are consulting your Doctor tomorrow, this will help in primary diagnosis.
Request for CT scan of nose and sinuses.
And referral for an ENT Surgeon for nasal endoscopy.
All this will help to get a proper diagnosis and proper management.
May need a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications.
Topical nasal decongestants.
Occasional cases may need surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
