Brief Answer:
Most probably suffering from vestibulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi Ma'm,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you maybe suffering from the vestibulitis of the nose i.e. infection of the nose.

In this condition I personally suggest :

1. Proper antibiotic such as combination of AMOXYCILLIN and Clavullinic acid 625mg Twice Daily for 5 days .
2. Hot fomentation and Steam inhalation
3. Painkillers.

Let me know if you have any further queries

Regards
