They are inside the nose that can barely visualize when I stretch my lips
and nostril and with a torchlight. Three bumps in same area that protrude
from the surface and block the airway, thus my right nosetril is 90%
blocked.

I had runny nose and headache for four days, and I frequently catch this
in these few months. What are they?

Thanks.

Perhaps what you are seeing are your nasal turbinates. They are supposed to be
there.

While I am looking at this picture

I realized that my nostrils are different. Behind the cartilage, 2cm from
the
openning of my nose, there is a stricture narrowing down :P Basically the
two
symetrical bubbles we see from the outside actually contains two small
chambers
which seperate from the inide big hall with that doors...Is that normal for
everybody?

And the bumps are what I saw immediately behind the door...

Thanks.
