Posted on Wed, 30 Nov 2016
Question: Thanks for being available! I just noticed that the entire lining of both nasal passages are lined with white pustules (too many to count). Fortunately, I am not experiencing any pain.
Do you have any thoughts on what it could be?
I appreciate you taking the time to share your expert opinions with me!
Sincerely,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Cleanse only with normal saline!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would have loved to see an image to know whether this is just a normal variant or a sort of an infection. With no other symptoms, there is no reason to get worried as it is possible to cleanse only and monitor to see if anything else comes up. I will say report any fevers, pains, nasal discharge and offensive odors to me for further evaluation and insights.

I wish you well. Keep me posted. If possible, upload an image for me to review the linings as well.
