Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

This burning sensations over nostrils,dry mucus with fever could be allergic rhinitis or sinusitis.

You should do some routine blood tests to rule out infection.

I would advice you to use saline nasal drops , 2 drops 5-6 times a day to keep the nose moist.

You can also take in steam inhalation 2-3 times a day to reduce the congestion and open the nose.

Please ask your doctor to prescribe an antihistamine for you , to reduce the running nose and tab paracetamol 500 mg as and when required basis for fever.

As this is a temporary phenomenon and will reduce in 3-4 days,so no need to worry much.

Regards,
