Hello,

It could be a local inflammation.

As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

You can also apply warm compresses for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult an ENT specialist and evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
