petroleum jelly out from deep within my nostril!? It feels very uncomfortable! I have a petroleum jelly fettish, so I put some up one of my nostrils and tried to remove it with a cotton swab only making things worse! How do I remove it?

a comfortably hot nasal lavage should do the trick, if a simple gentle blowing doesn't. petroleum jelly, unless it's adulterated with something else, is harmless, though if there's a great deal of it, up there, and you swallow it, it may cause diarrhea.

Blow hard.You can do that under a basin full of water. Try it.if it still there, then you can ask a doctor to help out.They have this gadget which will help vacuum it out.Hope this helps. God bless!
