What To Do For Lump Between Eye And Nose?
My 15-year-old brother has a lump between his eye and nose. It appeared to grow in size in two years. A little background: he has asthma and lives in a house where family members smoke. He used to have a sinusitis when he was a toddler that wouldnt seem to go away. He had phlegm-like sound when he breathed when he was born. Is this something serious?

HI. If this is a small one with a history of 2 years , this can be a cyst or so. Nothing much to worry.
If there is watering of the eye on the same side , there is a possibility of dacrocystitis. One needs an operation to get this cured. Now-a-days the surgery is done endoscopicaly through nose.
