i have something stuck up my nose

[southeastastra]

and i can't get it out! any suggestions?

have tried to wash it out, it's so annoying, three days of it

Tweezers?

what is it?

what is it?

a bogie i presume or could be a scab had an op on my nose a couple of months back

You need to fashion a barb, yes yes self surgery using a sharp metal barb and a mirror. If you can have the phone nearby to call 999 that would probably be a good plan too.

oooh alternatively you could try inhaling steam with eucalyptus and a towel over your head and basin.

I am not convinced this works with bogies though

what about one of those water nose sprays?

Hoover? Crochet hook?

tried that cupsoftea.

have some menthol crystals will try them.

it's seriously annoying

Stuff some Vaseline up there and keep your fingers crossed that it slithers its way out.

Have you had a nose bleed awhile ago?

yes it bled alot after the op but nothing for about 4 weeks now

I had a stone stuck up my nose when younger pmsl a dare from my big sister!!! They put pepper under my nose and I sneezed it out

sorry southeastastra I missed you said that. It could well be that. It sounds very uncomfortable - could your doc take a look?

Try steam - breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose, and hopefully it will get dislodged somehow.

If it is a scab though, shouldn't you just leave it be until it's ready to drop off? Or I suppose it could have dropped off and then got lodged somehwere.

any chance it is actually something stuck up there ? My DS sniffed up a grain of wheat at harvest time and we had to take him to the gp to get it out (or the nurse). He said because it was a grain it would swell and be hard to get out and could also cause infection as it started to rot (lovely).

So - I think I am saying is nip down to the nurse and see if she can see anything.

meant to add - it was very quick and simple to get out - but not something you ought to try on yourself - (not easy to see up your own nose !!)

tried menthol and pepper, neither has worked. i might go to see if doc can get it out.

i've done something to my ear with all the blowing.

I'm sorry, but this is turning into a classic!! I LOL at you doing something to your ear with all the blowing!!

Seriously though, go and see the nurse practitioner. She/he can have a good old look and tell you to leave it alone!!

i'm still trying to get it out myself. i really don't want anyone sticking something up my nose!

Get thee to the doctor. It's really not worth perforating your eardrums over.

Could we all guess at what it could be??

Could there be a prize?

if it's a scab for an op 4 weeks ago then it's taken along time to heal.
What's wrong with a good old fashioned finger up nostril and root around?

my finger won't reach it! or tweezers. i'll go to dr if it's still there tomorrow. have to work today

how long are your nostrils?
