Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

A spider or any insect can go inside the nose, mostly coming through the mouth. You are telling in the morning, which means you are aware of it. You might have been sneezing or blowing it.

The nasal block may be due to allergic mucus secretion. If you are feeling spider struck in your nostril, take clean water, inhale, bring it to your mouth, and spit it and see. If still worried, go to an ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor and check it.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello,

Thank you doctor,

I went to the emergency, and all they did was look up my nostril with a torch. They said that they could not see anything there, but there was a bit of blood. Now I cannot get over the fact that there may be something crawling around inside me. Nobody seems to be listening. I am not sure what to do?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

As I told you before, please go to an ENT surgeon and check. Do sinus endoscopy. If the spider is inside, they will easily remove it. You need not panic.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
