Dry nose..
Dry nose(especially the right) since 2 months. I feel my nose is an open highway for cold air to the extent that I cant take proper breath. Weather is ok but my nose is sooo sensitive.
It all started when I suffered from a terrible chest cold that lasted for 3 weeks. I recovered from that but then I started smelling metal in my nose. When I visited the doctor, she diagnosed me as having Polyps, and Allergic Rhinitis. Now my right tonsil is swallowed, and I feel mucus collecting in my throat

You seem to be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which is a common type of nose infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can do steam inhalation
