I tried to edit my previous response but it timed out. I just read another section of this article that might be of interest to you.

"Signs that your dog may have a foxtail in his nose include sudden sneezing, pawing at his nose, and bleeding from one or both nostrils. As the foxtail works its way deeper into your dog's sinuses, his reaction may eventually dissipate, leading you to believe that whatever was bothering him has gone away. In reality, the foxtail has become even more dangerously embedded and may cause severe infection."

If you suspect your dog has encountered a foxtail that has entered his body and you can't find or remove the foxtail yourself, take him to your veterinarian immediately. It's important to act quickly. Foxtails can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections."

Hope this helps. I don't want to alarm you. Your symptoms don't sound as bad as this.
