Suggest Treatment For Chronic Stuffy Nose

I HAVE BEEN USING COCONUT OIL IN NOSE FOR CRONIC STUFFY NOSE. WHEN I USE IT MUCUS COMES OUT WITH 5 HAIRS WRAPED IN THE MUCUS. I REMOVED ONE OF THE HAIRS FROM THE MUCUS AND THEY MOVE/JUMP/TWIST AND FLIP LIKE CRAZY IF TOUCHED WITH A TOOTHPICK. I PUT ONE IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER AND THEY STILL WAVE/FLUTTER/FLIP SO IT IS NOT STATIC OR AIR. I HAVE ALSO HAD CLUMPS OF BLOOD. WENT TO ENT AND HE SAID THEY LOOK LIKE NOSE HAIRS. HE DID GO ON HIS INTERNET FOR CASE REPORTS AND TOLD ME TO BRING A SAMPLE AND HE WOULD SEND TO A LAB BUT SAID IT WOULD REAL BE EXPENSIVE. COULD THIS BE A NEMATODES? ARE THERE ANY TYPES OF PARASITES THAT LOOK LIKE HAIRS? I ALSO HAVE THESE IN MY EYES AND EARS BUT THEY ARE MUCH SMALLER. IF THESE ARE JUST HAIRS THEN I SHOULD HAVE NO NOSE HAIRS LEFT IN MY NOSE BECAUSE TODAY ALON I HAD 6 OF THESE HAIRLIKE STRUCTURES COME OUT WRAPED IN MUCUS. I AM OF SOUND MIND AND REALLY NEED AN ANSWER. THANK-YOU.
