Nose pain: Frequently your symptoms are typical of nasal vestibulitis or nasal vestibular abscess. The latter is associated with swelling and pus drainage. The former occurs from the glands or hair follicles of the nasal hairs. Typically treatment include antibiotic ointment (bacitracin or bactroban) and warm compress.
