What Causes Swelling Around The Bridge Of The Nose While Treating Dry Eyes?

I have dry eyes and have been using drops, warm compress, massage and nighttime gel to relieve the discomfort. In the last few days I ve noticed tthet either side of my nose is swollen and my glasses are uncomfortable to wear. I m wondering if I have an infection in a clocked tear duct. It seems worse in my right ear and down the side of my nose.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear swelling around bridge of the nose may be due to etmoidal sinusitis. Causes are common cold, allergies, polyps, deviated nasal septum, Enlarged Adenoid, trauma etc.. Diagnosed by simple xray paranasal sinuses, CT pns may help.
Drink plenty of water, water vapor inhalation, avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Tab. Alday DC twice a day for 5days, tab. Azithromycin for 5 days. Still symptoms persisten you need to consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
