Clogged Nose?

Hello Friends.
My Pam girl has had a clogged nose with sneezing for the past month. I have not quarantined her and none of my other girls are ill.
I've tried using a syringe with distilled water to shoot the clog out. I've use Q-tips to try and moisten the clog. Nothing seems to be working.
Aside from random sneezing, she is not showing any other signs of illness. No dripping eyes, nothing. Any thoughts.
I google and read all of my farming books and can't quite figure this out. I really think this is just a clog.
My first research pointed to Coryza and I just don't think this is that.
Also, I've attached photos of both nostrils so you can see the clog.
Any help or feedback would be appreciated!

What does the inside of her beak look like?
She's got quite a long beak, does she live inside or outside?

See if you can remove the clog - drop 1 drop of Hydrogen Peroxide on the crusty material, let it soak in for a minute, then use an orange stick (wooden cuticle stick) to gently work on getting it loose. You may have to repeat the process to get it all out.
After you have it cleared, see if the sneezing resolves. If you find that same type of material inside the beak and there's a bad odor, then it may be canker.

Don't forget to look in the choanal slit for debris packed in there are as well. A beak should be clean looking inside like in the illustration.

Thank you so much for replying! Still working on removing the clog!
 
Try All in One powder. I get it from Global Pigeon supplies. And I'd use Vetrx on her nostrils just a couple of drops on the top of the beak.
