What should I do about the tissue stuck in my nostril from a nosebleed? Its not causing any breathing issues, and it doesnt hurt, but it's still stuck up there. Is it safe to leave it until morning?

It sounds like you have a foreign object (tissue paper) stuck in your nose. It is important to remove it to avoid any potential complications. You can try to gently blow your nose to see if that helps dislodge the tissue. If that doesn't work, you should seek medical help to have it safely removed. Leaving it in overnight is not recommended as it can lead to irritation or infection. You can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray to help reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the tissue.
