Swollen right nostril

2017-02-19 05:11:22
My right nostril is swollen (at the base) and is very painful. Not sure if it's a boil because there's also an itching sensation. This has been there for 2-3 days and earlier it used to ache only if I touched the affected area but now it hurts all the time. Please advise.
