Q: There's a Peanut In My Nose.

Or in my head somewhere - i'm not sure.

Basically, I sneezed eating a peanut last week, and it lodged itself into someplace I can't snort it out of. I have a feeling it's wedged in somewhere between the roof of my mouth and my sinuses, but i'm not even sure if this is possible.

It would be really handy if someone could explain what's going on here. I can feel the peanut in my head - I just can't tell where it is.

Also, when I dig around the back of my mouth's roof with my tongue, there's lot of stuff coming out of the holes. I can't tell it's food or not, but it's definitely not the peanut.

Sorry for grossing everyone out - I just need more information on this before I consult a doctor so I know what i'm dealing with.

Ewww!

Ok, that sucks. But you could have bacteria growing in your sinus cavities and that could lead to an infection, so just forget about the forum and go get an x-ray.
