Diagnosis of pus pimples in the nose
In order to make an adequate diagnosis, a good interview with the patient and, if necessary, the relatives is necessary. It is helpful if the patients consider what is important to mention before the visit to the doctor. Afterwards, the doctor will examine the exterior and interior of the nose and surrounding structures.
Depending on the suspected diagnosis, further examinations are carried out. It is important to differentiate by differential diagnosis whether a “simple” pus pimple or a boil, an abscess or whether a nasal herpes is present. The articles on the different manifestations can be found under
