Swelling in the area of piercing is probably because of reaction towards the nose stud and needs to be treated urgently, otherwise it may cause permanent deformity of the area of nose piercing. You need to remove the nose stud and consult nearby ENT specialist or skin specialist for more help
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or Dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
