Suggest Treatment For Crusted Mucus In Nasal Openings

I currently have a nasal infection and I m told not to blow my nose because I had bloody mucus. Well now I have crusted mucus on both nasal openings that I can t remove, maybe cause of internal hair. Is there any solution to soften the mucus for removal?
