Help- is there something stuck up my nose?

[upthenose]

Arghh! I was filling my horses haynet and accidentally breathed in a big cloud of it. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a piece of hay up my nose- it feels like there’s something at the back of my nose/top of my throat and it feels really irritated and annoying. Or maybe there isn’t actually hay up there and it just got irritated when I breathed in the hay dust. But either way it feels like there’s something up there and it’s so annoying. I keep snorting and I can feel mucus going down my throat from my nose but the irritated feeling isn’t going away and it still feels like there’s something up there.

Does anyone know I could do to remove whatever is up my nose? Or if there isn’t actually anything up there, how I can get rid of the irritated and annoyed feeling?! Thank you so much for any advice!

The one piece of advice that sends to be given in this case is

Blow out of your nose gently to try to free the object, but don't blow hard or repeatedly. If only one nostril is affected, close the opposite nostril by applying gentle pressure and then blow out gently through the affected nostril.

Could you try that? Failing that, an OOH clinic?

Go to an all night chemist/tescos and get some Sterimar or saline nasal spray (they do them for babies if you can’t get the adult one.) You can use that to spray up and flush your nostrils out one at a time and it’ll drip into your throat and clear any debris there too.
if that doesn’t work, you need out of hours.

Thanks for the advice! I actually had some sterimar in the house from when I had sinus problems which I hadn’t even thought to try, unfortunately it hadn’t helped though and I’m starting to wonder if there even is anything up there anymore, or if it just got a bit scratched and irritated and now it feels like there is.

It’s the most annoying feeling ever and I can’t even tell where exactly it is- it sort of feels like my throat, but really high up, as if it’s maybe the very back of my nose? It definitely doesn’t feel specific to one nostril and it’s not on a particular side- it feels like the highest point of my throat and everything I swallow it’s sore and irritated and feels like there’s a bit of hay there 😭
