Scab Hanging From Nostril, Bleeds, Attached And Has Constant Mucus. Reason?

Thanks for posting your query.
The scab hanging from inside of the nostril is most likely a nasal polyp. This causes sinus congestion and chronically inflamed sinuses which produce large amounts of mucus. It drips down on the back of the throat (called post nasal drip) which causes constant clearing of the throat and headaches and lightheadedness.
You should get it checked from an ENT specialist and get transillumination (passing light through the sinuses) or Sinus X-rays or CAT scan of sinuses. Till you get these tests done, inhale plenty of steam.
Surgical removal of the polyp might be needed in case of severe symptoms.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
