Must son, (recently turned 18), has something a little odd going. One week ago it looked like his forhead above his left eyebrow was swollen. I felt around, and found a hard, solid, small, about the size of a grain of rice, just below, the inside part of his eyebrow. It feels as hard as a small pebble does. I assumed it may be a blind pimple because he is lagging in puberty, and has started with mild acne. Over the week, the Obvious swelling has gone down, but the bump is still there.
today his visiting nurse came to flush his port, and I told her about it. Befor checking, she to thought it was probably a pimple. Once she felt it she said it is not a pimple, and she can feel another one below the one I can feel. She said that it is where his frontal sinus is, and has to do with his sinus.
anyone have any ideas what this may be? He has had no Sinus or cold issues and does not have any now. The one thing I noticed is his sense of smell seems a little dulled. He also was having severe headaches a couple months ago that were diagnosed as migraines in that exact area. The headaches have subsided.
we have had no experience as of yet with nasal polyps either. I did as she said and made an appointment with his pediatrician for Tuesday, but was hoping someone may have an idea.
Thank you so much,
janelle
