What Causes Pain And Soreness On Inside Of Left Nostril?

My 5 year old son had a cold a few days ago. Once he started feeling better a sore on the inside of his left nostril appeared. It wasnt red or anything at first but now it is grown and scabbing and red. It has hurt him since the day it came. What could this be?

Hello

It is likely that your son has developed what is called a "furuncle" of the nose and i would like you to consult an ent doctor for the same . He may need surgical drainage and antibiotics for it.
Please meet your doctor
Thanks
