Hi,
Boils in the nose should be carefully managed and not taken lightly. While heat lading and painkillers may be important, but more important are antibiotics to use.
So do ask your doctor for prescription of some Antibiotics. You may use topical antibiotics like polyfax skin ointment few times a day. Do not puncture or damage the boils in the nose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
