I have had what was told a cyst for several years right beside my nose (interior) Feels like it is in my sinuses. It kinda felt like a BB. Just recently it has started growing now it about the size of a quarter but not quite round. It is starting to block my air through that side of my nose. My Dr had said when it was small not to worry about it. ShouldI worry now? Thank you.
Hi,
It would definitely help to continue with the current plan of treatment and your symptoms should start to respond soon.
Get a review with your specialist in some days if required and also if your symptoms persist or worsen.
You could simultaneously try steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and breathing exercises.
Please let us know how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.
Regards.
Found out I am very allergic to dust mites and both the ENT and the allergist I was able to get into to see today think I might also be experiencing atypical migraines.
I am gonna do the encasing of bedding and such and also steroid nasal sprays.
Wish me luck. She doesn't think taking the cysts out right now will help.
The ENT prescribed some kind of antibiotic for 3 weeks.
Hi,
It would be advisable to consult an allergy specialist about your symptoms and also to talk to your ENT specialist again about having the mucus retention cysts removed which could be tha cause of your symptoms and also the enlarged lymph nodes.
What medications are you on currently? You could also talk to your doctor about ruling out an infective process in the sinuses which could be responsible for the enlarged lymph nodes.
You would need steroid nasal sprays, a course of antibiotic medications. Have you tried steam inhalation, antihistamine medications and saline nasal drops? Have they helped?
Let us know what the allergy specialist advises and also if you have any doubts.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
