Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you might be having fur uncle in your nasal vestibule causing pain and swelling of the nose and face. Swelling of the face is because of cellulitis.
This needs to be addressed immediately.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines for 5 to 7 days. Do steam inhalation. All these are prescription medicines, so I would advise you to consult with the doctor and get evaluated. Hope my answers have helped you . Thanks.
