Possible rhinolith
As a child I had inserted a piece if eraser into my left nostril which I was unable to extract later. Since i was very young I was unable to telly parents about this. I have had chronic to acute sinusitis over the years and presently recovered from rhinitis, sinusitis and otitis media. There is a burning sensation on my left nostril and I can sometimes smell blood inside. Also I had a few bouts of nosebleeds when I was a teenager. Please suggest investigations if necessary
