Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in right side of nose along with clogged feeling can be due to a number of causes like infection in the nostril that can be caused by either bacteria, virus or fungus, foreign body impaction inside the nostril, traumatic injury to the nose and the nasal septum, inflammation in the lining of the nostril [Rhinitis] and growths inside the nostril like nasal polyp..

In case if the symptoms has subsided it is fine but in case if the symptoms persist I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical evaluation and can also advise you nasal endoscopy and nasal swab culture to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms and treatment can be planned accordingly..

He can advise you antibiotics and nasal irrigations for infection, and steroids nasal sprays for polyps and decongestants containing Xylometazoline for congestion clearance.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
