What Causes Swollen Dry Nostril With Unpleasant Odor?
For the past 3 weeks, I ve had a swollen, dry red nostril with unpleasant odor coming from it. It s gotten worse and worse, going to ent ASAP but wondering if should go to walk in clinic. I can t breathe out of it and pressure around it is worsening each day. Hope it s not cancer. Thank you

Hello,
Dont worry, please visit an ENT. It could be just an infection - a condition called vestibulitis of nose. Just to rule out other conditions you need to visit. Even vestibulitis cannot be taken lightly as the infection could spread. So do visit asap.
