The most common problems we address include swelling of the nose, headache and sinusitis, nose block (or stuffy nose), foul-smelling from the nose, and bleeding from the nose.
Swelling in the tip of the nose is typically due to an infection. This infection often arises from unsanitary habits, such as frequent touching of the nostril with unhygienic fingers or using unhygienic scissors to trim nasal hair.
Treatment depends on the severity of the infection. It can often be resolved with prescribed medication. In certain cases, a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia may be necessary.
Yes, a nose block, or stuffy nose, is listed as one of the common nose problems. While often temporary, persistent blockage may be related to underlying issues like sinusitis or other structural problems.
You should seek consultation if you experience persistent headache and sinusitis, a foul-smelling discharge from the nose, or frequent bleeding from the nose. These symptoms may indicate an underlying condition requiring medical attention.
