Hello,
Most commonly, nostril may have many hair follicles which might have been infected and cause swelling overnight.
It may be enlarged turbinate or rhinos porosities or boil. Use tablet Amoxicillin Clavulanate thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved, please consult your ENT specialist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
