Moisturize: You need to irrigate the nose. If you drink hot soup or fluids the steam will irrigate the nose and begin to make the nose run. This will mousturize the nose for you Start here

Left nostril dry: Can be allergic rhinitis or vasomotor rhinitis(no allergy), w/ post nasal drip and sinusitis due to chronic congestion . Follow up with allergist to test for environmental allergens- pollen, dust mites or foods(milk, gluten,). Also consider gastric reflux Zyrtec for allergy, and ranitidine/previcid for reflux.f/u/ w/ doc https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001648.htm
