You might have a low grade chronic sinus infection on that side or some kind of localized infection in the nasal tissue. Your best bet is to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist (ENT or otolaryngologist) and have it looked at. A course of antibiotics may be necessary to clear it up. It's possible you may have a partial blockage on that side or even a retained foreign body that is acting as a source of infection. Have it examined to identify the cause and get on the right treatment. Hope this helps.
