Why Does My Nasal Bone Feel Slightly Swollen?
Subtle swelling of the nasal bone can be caused by trauma, and may also be related to factors such as sinusitis and nasal tumors. Different treatment methods are required based on the cause.
Trauma: If a patient accidentally bumps their nose in daily life, it can easily cause damage to the nasal bone, leading to local swelling and pain, and also resulting in a subtle swelling feeling on the nasal bone. At this time, local cold compresses can be applied within 24 hours to help alleviate the symptoms.
Sinusitis: Sinusitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. After contracting the disease, it can cause nasal obstruction, pus, head and facial pain, loss of smell, and other symptoms. When the nasal mucosa experiences an inflammatory reaction, it can also cause a subtle swelling feeling on the nasal bone. At this time, patients can use medications such as budesonide nasal spray, fluticasone propionate nasal spray, and oxymetazoline hydrochloride nasal spray under the guidance of a doctor.
Nasal Tumors: Nasal tumors are tumor lesions in the nasal mucosa. After contracting the disease, due to the continuous growth of the tumor, it can compress the nasal bone, leading to a subtle swelling feeling on the nasal bone. At the same time, it can also be accompanied by symptoms such as ulcers, bleeding, and pain. At this time, we can follow the doctor's advice and undergo treatment through endoscopic nasal surgery or other surgical methods.
A subtle swelling feeling on the nasal bone may also be related to a deviated nasal septum. After falling ill, one should promptly visit the hospital, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment after identifying the cause.
