Nostril Swollen Shut With White Mucus Is A Sign Of Nasal Infection?
I have had a cold, stuffy nose and sore throat for at least a week now. when I checked the inside of my nostrils there was one nostril swollen shut with what appeared to be a white mucus. Is this a sign that my cold has caused a nasal infection as well?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having congestion in your nostrils producing this type of feeling.
There might be having congestion, induration due to infection.
Put some decongestant nasal drops.
Take decongestant medicine as well for 2-3 days.
Take vicks vapor inhalation.
Ok and take care.
