Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I understand your concern.
The painful lump what you are complaining of in the left nostril could be an infected nasal polyp. Don't have to worry much as it is a benign condition, which would needs to be removed by a simple operation.
Kindly get evaluated by ENT Surgeon at the earliest in this regard for management.
In the mean time, take Tablet.Ibuprofen + Paracetamol combination twice a day after food to control pain.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
