Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that pain in right nostril and right side of face is most probably due to a recurring episode of infection in the sinuses and more specifically the right maxillary sinus leading to Sinusitis.

As a part of immediate remedy, you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen to relieve pain..
Do saline nasal irrigations and take decongestant nasal sprays like Xylpmetazoline or Oxymetazoline..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view x ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Do warm compresses around nostrils..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
