Cotton in Nose: The cotton can't go to your brain as physical barriers prevent but i would be concerned for sinus infections. Gently use water to attempt to remove..

Nasal obstruction: It is unlikely that it would go to your brain in the absence of trauma to the skull. However, if it is not removed, you could develop an unpleasant infection. Go to an urgent care center or ENT (ear/nose/throat) doctor for an evaluation
