Hi. The greenish and clear colour bubble in the nasal cavity fits the description of a nasal polyp.

She may have developed the polyposis due to her repeated sinus problems. The greenish snot from the nose points towards a fungal pathology and she may have something called as Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) that can also lead to development of polyposis. A nasal polyp is nothing but an elongated mass of nasal mucosa.

In my opinion your daughter needs an ENT evaluation with nasal endoscopy and CT scan of her paranasal sinuses. If polyps are confirmed they will need to be surgically removed following which she may need steroid nasal sprays and antihistamines for many years.

Do have this evaluated. Let me know if I can answer any further questions.
