thanks for choosing health care majic.You are having upper respiratory infection as per the symptoms and medicines that has been given to you.At times in this kind of case the mucosa inside your nose becomes dry and it is congested due to cold.so it gives rise to pain,stop taking steam inhalation if you are taking.apply some moisturizer like Vaseline etc inside your nostril with help of your finger,drink plenty of liquids you will be fine.
