the question i am about to ask is about my mom. she has kidney problems and are body keeps water and she swells as well she also have problems to breathe. recently i have notice that the sides of her nose is welling as well can you please tell what maybe happen to her?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The sides of the nose are formed by air containing sinuses named maxillary sinuses. Over that there is a layer of muscle and fat below the skin. If your mother is having swelling over the sides of nose then a condition causing inflammation of the sinuses is to be considered. This is called as sinusitis and is simple infection of the sinuses. It is possible that there is fluid accumulation in various parts of the body including face due to kidney problems. This might also cause immune suppression and predispose your mother to infections. Please consult an ENT specialist and confirm the condition and take treatment. Please do not worry.
