What happens if something gets into your nose and irritates?

If something irritates your nose, it can trigger a reflex response, leading to symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, or increased mucus production. The irritation can cause discomfort and may lead to inflammation of the nasal tissues. In some cases, if the irritant is not removed, it could lead to infection or further complications. It's generally advisable to remove the irritant carefully and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
