See below: The worms are probably not worrisome for parasitic attack or infection. If the worm crawls into your nose, symptoms would be like having a foreign object inside: •constant nasal discharge from one nostril. •foul odor. Pus or blood drains from a nostril. •pain, swelling, and/or tenderness. See your doctor if you have these symptoms.

Clean nose, see Dr.: See a dr. For an evaluation and get your nose cleaned well. You will need to have the infestation taken care of too, or you can keep gtting infected with bed bugs, lice, or whatever the "worm" was.
