Paper stuck in nose
I woke up with a nosebleed because I have a cut on the inside of my nose, so I put some tissue in my nostril to stop the bleeding but then found I couldn’t pull in out. I kept trying to get it out but the ball kept getting smaller and now is stuck further up my nose. It is not causing me and difficulty breathing and doesn’t seem to hurt. The paper was is very very small. What should I do? Is it safe to leave it until morning?

If you can't find doctor now it safe to keep paper inside the nose without much issue. It may absorb water and mucous and can remain there or may go further deep and may be swallowed without your knowledge
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
