Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I ve had a hard pea sized lump at back/base of left nostril for over a year now. I had root canal treatment on the tooth just underneath where this lump is and when this lump appeared so did a lump on my gum . I had to have tooth removed and gum lump disappeared but still got lump in nose. It s not particularly painful but I can tell it s there sometimes it feels smaller and if I press it really hard it seems to move abit for a day or so then returns. I am worried what it could be . Thanks Jo
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Lump in the nostril what you are complaining of must be 'nasal polyp'. It needs to be removed by operation called 'nasal polypectomy'. You need to consult ENT Surgeon for the management of your condition. Wish you good health.
