A member asked:

Stuffy nose only on left nostril causing headache & pain near brow bone. also pain inside left nostril. no runny nose. almost 2weeks already. cancer?

Unlikely: It is unlikely that you have cancer in the nose. You may have a deviated nasal septum that, in addition to some other trigger, is causing the symptoms. It would be prudent to consult an ENT specialist.
