Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of crawling sensation inside nostrils which seems to be due to entrapment of foreign bodies in nose leading to allergic rhinitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as use nasal sprays and along with that you should take anti-allergic medication such as Levocetrizine and proper course of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin for 5 days to suppress infection. Avoid intake of cold beverages and spicy, sharp and oily food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for paranasal sinus X-ray and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
