More than a stuffy nose

[FeatherstoneFrm]

This is a 10 week old Delaware. Today I was trying to take pictures of all of my littles and she kept photo bombing which gave me a good look at what looks like swelling or a growth around her nostril.
Does anyone know what could be the cause and how to treat?

It could be a infection from something

It might be an obstruction which could be food, mucus, and dirt. The nostril can be a common place for a cement-like blockage. I would try applying a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide to soften for a few minutes. Then you can use a fingernail or wooden toothpick and try to gently clean away any dried goop. This may need to be repeated in a few sessions. Don’t be too vigorous since the nostril can be easily damaged. Here is a good link to read:
