A sore nose is when you have discomfort and even pain in your nose due to a cold, a seasonal allergy, congestion, or an injury. Symptoms include a tender, swollen, or red nose accompanied by nosebleeds. It can make it hard to breathe and is uncomfortable or even painful. It can be treated with over-the-counter medications, a blend of nasal sprays, and home remedies such as warm compresses. It can also be as simple as hydrating and identifying the cause of your soreness. If it persists or gets worse, ask for medical help.
