Sore on the side of my chickens beak

[Hopie12]

Hey!
My name is Aspen, I am an experienced chicken owner, but I have never experienced this... there was a growth on the side of my chickens cheek and is on the inside of the beak. It is lighter pick/white and yellow in the middle. Is it larvae, cold sore? Should I squeeze it or pull the yellow part out? if so should what should I clean it out with since it is so close to my chickens mouth?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Could a a sinus infection. Do not break this open. Definitely post in our emergency section with photos. She will probably need antibiotics, possibly Tylan or Duramycin.

Good luck with her, I hope she gets better!
