My puppy has a cheek lump and snorts in the morning. What to do?

Question

I've recently noticed that my puppy has a tiny lump on the right side of his cheek, it kind of feels like a vessel but I can't be sure, it doesn't seem to bother him. And also he sometimes makes a snorting sound like he has a stuffed nose, but it happens more often in the morning.

Hi, if you post a picture of the lump we may be able to help more. If the lump is small, less than a centimeter, and not red or sore, I would monitor it to see what it does. If it gets larger, swells or has discharge, he should see a vet. Puppies can also get upper respiratory infections. I would take him to a vet for this to see if he needs antibiotics. If left untreated, URIs can become serious. It is better to get him looked at sooner rather than later. Good luck, I hope this helps!
