Accepted Answer

Take decongestants.: Blocked ears when you have runny and congested nose is due to congestion in eustachian tube that connects ears to throat.  Taking decongestants with guifenecin should help. Mucinex (guaifenesin) D is one such medicine. It is sold over the counter but you might need to ask a pharmacist to give it to you.

Accepted Answer

Do : Do not know about the actual type of injury. We already know that you have not had headaches, vomiting, loss of consciousness, amnesia or pupillary changes. Additional symptoms can include:  nausea, ringing in your ears, feeling dizzy, slurred speech, confusion or feeling tired. Major concern is that you have felt woozy.  The symptoms from a head injury can be subtle. I am not sure what to make of the blood in your nose - don't know the mechanism of injury.   If you continue to be woozy, i would recommend a check up.   Because not all the effects from a concussion may be immediate, self- monitor to ensure that you don't develop more symptoms.  If there is a small amount of blood in your nostril  and it is not on- going, it will likely resolve. Be gentle with yourself. Be self aware for signs or symptoms of a concussion.
