Hello,
Your mother has got random swelling extending from the top (between the eyes) to the middle of her nose. Such symptoms are commonly caused due to
allergic reaction to pollen, animal dander, cosmetic, dust, etc. It can also be due to some insect sting or
common cold, developing
sinus infection, pimple or bump or polyp. She is suggested not to touch or scratch the area affected. Let her take antihistamines at bed time to reduce swelling and inflammation.
She can take
Combiflam or
Acetaminophen, one SOS when needed to ease pain. To reduce swelling and congestion in the nose due to allergy, sinus, cold, etc., she can apply Otrivin nasal drop, 2-3 drops twice daily. The symptoms should get reduced. She should get clinically examined by an ENT, get X-ray PNS, other investigations done to detect the pathology causing discomfort. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
