I woke up with a sore inside my nose and by the next day the whole inside of that nostril was swollen and so sore what could it be?

Get it checked out: I would see a doctor asap. It could be infected, and one of the most common causes of such infections is mrsa- a resistant staph. In the meantime, wash you hands well after touching that area (best not to touch it if you can help it). Best of luck to you.
