What Causes Swelling In The Nose Between Eyes?
I woke up this morning and have mild swelling on the inside of my nose between my eyes and eyebrow. It's the inner corner of my eye area that is swollen, as well, and some watering when i first woke up. One side is very mild and the other is a lot more. Any ideas? Did not eat and change any habits.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern, As per your query you have swelling in the nose between eyes . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to various reason like allergic reaction , sinusitis , fracture , hematoma or local infection. I would suggest you to apply ice pack 2-3 times a day , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and swelling and consult oral maxillofacial surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order x-ray or CT scan to rule out any fracture in the skull which is kind of emergency . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory or may drain the swelling . Doctor may also refer you to ent specialist for problem like swelling . Also take steam several times a day and take benadryl twice a day .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
