What Causes Swelling On Nose?

Hi, I have a weird swelling on my nose. I have a slight headache, but my nose isn t very sore and I don t have a runny nose or terrible cold that might indicate a sinus infection. The swelling is very slightly red and appears to be on the right side more than the left, of the bridge of the nose. It feels like bone or cartilage, not soft tissue, but I did not bump it or injure it recently. I am worried that this swelling is permanent. Thanks!

HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of tiny infective boil inside the nostril is very likely and this need to be ruled out, if it is there then this can only be treated with anti-inflammatory drug and best option is Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day this would come around soon, take care, have a nice day.
