Ciplox drops are just antibiotic drops and do not have any role in clearing congestion. If the pain is at tip of nose and since a short duration, then it could be vestibulitis which will need antibiotics and antiinflammatory tablets. If you have a nose block then it could be sinusitis. In that case you will need a diagnostic nasal endoscopy first followed by a ct scan of paranasal sinuses to evaluate further if required and determine the treatment accordingly.
