Experiencing Dryness In Nose And Headache

I have a terribly dry nose. It is so dry it is almost always bloody and with huge dry boogers. It started around 3 weeks ago. Seems like it's getting worse. Tried humidifier, didn't seem to make a difference. I HATE nosesprays but would consider using one if necessary. Having headaches today. Please help.

Hello

You may be suffering from what is called as Rhinitis sicca , in which the nose becomes very dry, i would like you to meet your ent doctor for confirming this , you may need to use saline nasal drops and sprays and may be asked to apply glycerine in your nose to reduce the dryness and crusting.
Please meet your ent doctor for advice and guidance.

Thanks
