Why is there a red, non-painful lump on the side of my nose?

Patient's Query

What is this hard lump on the side of my nose? looks red and noticeable. It doesn't hurt or move. I tried popping it, but there's nothing to pop. Side of my eye looks swollen too

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

From your description, it seems you have a nasal polyp that is a non-cancerous growth that most often develops in the nasal or sinus lining. Go see an ENT doctor for further evaluation, because polyps can cause breathing problems and other complications if untreated. Do not try to press or squeeze the lump, as this might irritate your skin and make the condition worse.

Hi, my daughter (18 yrs) noticed a nodule towards the back of her neck below her right ear, about 4 days back. It has since developed into a sore throat and productive cough. Please advise a suitable remedy. Thank you!

Female | 18

It could be a lymph node or a cyst, and a sore throat and cough could be unrelated or just the symptoms of a contraction. Please talk to a ENT doctor

I started Prednisolone (25mg) 2 days ago, for an allergic reaction. I am supposed to take full doses for 3 days, then half does for 3 and then stop. I believe this medication is affecting other medications I am currently taking. Am I able to stop taking it?

Female | 27

I suggest you don't stop prednisolone abruptly. It is necessary to finish the whole set of drugs in accordance with your doctor's prescription. If you have any side effects or drug interactions you should talk to your doctor. They can assess the unique requirements of your case and alter the treatment plan for you.

Can drinking from a mildew water bottle make me sick

Male | 36

Drinking from a water bottle with mildew could potentially be harmful to your health. Mildew is a type of mold that grows in moist conditions and can lead to respiratory issues and allergies.
If you see mildew in your bottle, avoid drinking from it and clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water, a bleach solution, or vinegar solution. Make sure the bottle is completely dry before using it again.

Feel laziness and whole body pain all the time

Male | 25

Experiencing both a problem with energy and a lot of pain all over the body is hard. One of the reasons might be sleeping little hours, skipping meals, or not doing enough work. On the other hand, stress is also a significant factor in this. Apart from this, eat well, have enough sleep, and work out to get rid of this feeling. Go to a doctor who will help you with the situation.

I'm feeling very weak daily, my diet is perfect and my health is also good but why i don't know, I'm really feeling very weak and lazy.

Female | 20

Fee­ling lazy happens sometimes, e­ven with a good diet. Many things cause this. Not sle­eping enough could tire you out. Be­ing inactive might drain energy too. High stre­ss and low water intake sap vigor as well. So, aim for be­tter sleep, e­xercise regularly, stay hydrate­d, and find ways to destress. These­ steps may restore your pe­p.
