Mass inside my daughter's nose?
My daughter has been complaining for a while now that her nose is always stuffy. She recently is starting to try a pick her nose, something which I wrote off as typical of a child. Today, she was really at and started to cry when I scolded her and told her to remover her finger from her nose. She said it was stuffy, so I offered to take a look. To my surprise I found that she had somehow made a piece of tissue into a perfect little ball and got it stuck up her nose. I Managed to pull it out, but I felt a hard bump under her skin that was clearly visible, thinking that she might have more tissue jammed up her nose, I took another look only to be horrified by this bright pink growth on the inside of her nose! It is not close to the septum and is only on one side of her nose. I thought it might be a polyp, but then got scared when I researched that it could be cystic fibrosis, asthma or cancer! There is no history of cystic fibrosis, nor does my daughter have symptoms. She is not symptomatic of asthma either. I am worried this is a tumor, and could be cancer. HELP! What else could cause this in a 3 year old toddler? I am taking her to see the doc in the morning, but I am so worried.
