Swollen? Absolutely! There are many, many blood vessels in the epidermal layer of the nose... so when there's swelling in the sinus cavity... the blood vessels that connect and drain fluids to and from the sinus region can cause the nasal tissue to swell as a result. Not at all a silly question. Dr Steve

that's not a dumb question. I don't know about the outside of your nose being swollen from your sinuses, but it can get swollen from blowing and wiping your nose all the time. that's what happens to me when I have a cold.

Your sinuses are actually on your cheeks and forehead. They do not have anything to do with the size of your nose.

its called nose flair and it could be so when you don't have a cold check it out ?

Your nose is probably swollen from all the activity. It probably would benefit from some care, like a cool compress or some tissues that have lotion in them. Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

yes because you have a infection get some saline nasal spray sniff up your nose and the salt will kill the infection in your nose.
