What Should I Do If There Is a Cartilaginous Bump Inside One of My Nostrils?
The protrusion of cartilage in one nasal cavity may be related to a deviated nasal septum, and timely correction surgery is required. If there are no specific symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, or headaches, no special treatment is necessary at this time, and observation is sufficient.
The initial judgment of the protrusion of cartilage in one nasal cavity is deviated nasal septum, and treatment needs to be based on the patient's symptoms. If the deviated nasal septum is accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, and headaches, treatment is required. Currently, the correction surgery for deviated nasal septum is performed under endoscopy, removing the cartilage and bone tissue to position the nasal septum in the middle. Attention should be paid to hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, and plasma treatment should be performed simultaneously to maintain balanced ventilation in both nasal cavities. If there are no specific symptoms, such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, or headaches, and the protrusion is only a structural deviation, it cannot be diagnosed as a clinically significant deviated nasal septum disease. No special treatment is required at this time, and observation is sufficient.
The protrusion of cartilage in one nasal cavity is becoming increasingly common, and the causes are complex. Many people are troubled by this condition, which can lead to abnormal nasal cavity and produce symptoms of blockage, causing significant inconvenience and discomfort to patients. It is important to be vigilant about changes in cartilage within the nasal cavity and to be aware of the occurrence of protrusions. Attention should also be paid to the treatment of this condition. If the protrusion is not obvious and there are no discomforts, the patient can breathe normally and generally does not require special treatment. However, for patients with severe symptoms, timely consultation and treatment at a hospital are recommended. In severe cases, septal deviation correction surgery may be necessary to facilitate recovery and reduce the harm caused by the condition.
During treatment, patients should also pay attention to dietary adjustment and may need to undergo rhinoscopy if necessary. Antibiotics should be used according to the doctor's instructions for targeted treatment. Intravenous infusion treatment with antibiotics such as penicillin and ceftriaxone may also be prescribed. In addition, patients should maintain good hygiene habits within the nasal cavity and pay attention to rest, avoiding exposure to heavily polluted environments.
