Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pus filled bump on the nose and inside nostril which could be due to
- nasal infection
- systemic pathology
- allergic and nonallergic rhinitis
- hypertension
- use of blood thinning medications
- nasal polyp
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.
- Take steam inhalation thrice a day.
- Maintain hygiene and do nasal saline rinses.
- Avoid touching or picking nose with any sharp object.
You should consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may check vitals, order nasal swab test along with blood test to find out proper diagnosis and can start treatment accordingly. You should take muscle relaxants for body aches and get it examined.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
