A small wad of toilet paper or tissue jammed up one's nose in order to prevent the nose from dripping. Often used against a running nose during a cold or flu, or against a bleeding nose. The nasal tampon protected the nose from damage by eliminating the need for repeated wiping.
Nasal tampons are left in all day, or until full, and are often used inconspicuously, just like the real thing.

Doctor Acula - Well, Andrew, your prostrate is clean, but I need to talk to you about something. Sit down.
Andrew - Oh no, what's up?
Doctor Acula - There seems to be some kind of growth in your nose; we think it might be cancerous. Here, take a look at this X-Ray.
Andrew - Oh, that. That's just my nasal tampon. My nose kept dripping onto my xbox controller.
Doctor Acula - Get out of my office.
