Breathing Issue/Nose Clogged

My beardie seems to have one of her nostrils clogged. Something dark in color appears to be clogging it and she is having a bit of a struggle breathing, her mouth is open most of the time even when she is not basking as she tries to breathe. She is currently in shed, but that does not look like shed to me. I am not using any loose substrate. The substrate I am using is tiles. Temps and UVB are all on point.

Have anyone encountered such a situation? Does it eventually go out by itself?

I have attached some pictures

@KarrieRee any suggestions?

Is it possibly a piece of food ? She will probably end up blowing it out eventually -- I can have ahbd take a look and see what she thinks --

That's usually shed, it should come out eventually. They usually mouth breath for a while off + on like this.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
