HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your pain, this is kind of boil and this is commonly occurring in this area this is painful lesion, some time pus also forms in this boil, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine
1) Tab. Ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day
2) Tab Acetaminophen three times in day
I usually do not prescribe antibiotic in early inflammatory phase because this could turn the lesion into antibioma and that is very notorious, nothing to worry about this you will get nice relief with this drugs, take care and have nice day.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have a boil, due to bacterial infection, in the gum area, and it spread into the nose,due to th ewspread of the infection.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.You may need to have an incision, and drainage of the boil, for quick recovery.
After incision, i usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, and serratiapeptidase, and diclofenac sodium.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
