Hello, It's not normal to have pain or discomfort after any nasal swab test post 30mins. The person who have tested seems to be inexperienced and might have traumatized your nasal cavity or nasopharyngeal wall or any other structures. Kindly consult ENT specialist physically and get Nose endosocopy done. You can take any over the counter pain killer for pain relief till you get Endoscopy done.
