Hello,
Most probably you might have developed a local infection or perforation in the nasal septum.
As of now, you can try nasal decongestant drops like Xylometazoline for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
