Nasal Pain: Greetings, intense nasal pain with a sinus infection should be evaluated by your medical specialist. A nasal vestibulitis may be present. This is usually caused by a Staph bacteria and will need targeted antibiotic therapy by mouth and I usually prescribe a topical ointment as well. Ibuprofen may also help for pain and inflammation. Please see your doctor. These infections can get tricky.
