This can occur as a result of inflammation (eg from allergies), infection (such as the common cold, sinusitis), trauma to the nostril.
You can consider the use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as one of the following: ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen. These should be available over the counter.

What To Do For The Swelling In The Nostril?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is not likely anything serious. This can occur as a result of inflammation (eg from allergies), infection (such as the common cold, sinusitis), trauma to the nostril. You can consider the use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as one of the following: ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen. These should be available over the counter. If you have a history of allergies then the use of a topical steroid nasal spray may also be helpful. I hope this helps
