What Causes High Fever With Running Nose And Lump Over Face?
I am suffering extreme hayfever symptoms, runny nose sneezing etc. I started getting small lumps under the skin on and around my chin, culminating today with a large walnut size lump on my temple. They do not itch. Whilst I have had hayfever for many years, never lumps!
Thanks Jan Moon

HI.
This means now you have a severe symptoms and this indicates the need for an additional steroid.
Newer Steroid in the form of deflazacort are better , safer , cause less side effects and you can take short courses of say a fw days to a few weeks in reducing doses.
This is important as the lumps are indicative of the pending complication like angio-edema, which is dangerous if it occurs in mouth , tongue ans such places.
Consult a Doctor fast to get a prescription and the first shot ASAP
