Pain at the nasal base cartillages (nose tip) upon touching, COVID?

I found out accidentally and by means of an antibody test that i was COVID-19 positive (asymptomatic) last December. However one thing that has been reoccurring throughout the past year both before and after the test is that i just wake up realizing that the very base of my nose (usually only one side + nose tip/ columella ) is painful upon touching. i guess i have had this experience over 20 times or more in the past year and every time it usually goes away by itself in few days. So since this recurring experience has been only happening since the COVID-19 era I wonder if anybody else has been experiencing something similar and whether it can be attributed to COVID-19? I tried a lot googling this sensation but without any luck.
