Weird Crackling Sound in my nose/head

So I think I have the flu, all the symptoms are there, as well as stuffy head. When I lay down though, i hear all this crackling, or small popping sounds. Not in my ears though, mostly behind my nose. I sound like a bowl of rice crispies. I'm worried this might be something other than just a cold/flu. Has anyone else experienced this? I know, it's super weird.

Blocked sinus passages The eyes, ears, nose and throat are all connected. The ear canals act like tiny amplifiers for your nose.
Poor baby.

Definitely your sinuses - you're just really congested and when the mucus moves you can hear it in your head. Freaky, but you'll live.

It may be "bubbles" in the mucus in your sinuses--get that sometimes and I know what you are describing--it typically indicates some thick stuff in there--you may need a mucus thinner like guafenisen...

I have the same problem only I am on my second dose of antibiotics! Stuburn infection just won't go away! Hope you feel better soon

sorry you feel bad! does your nose squeak too after you blow it, that always at least cracks me up when my sinuses are in the funk, I've had the fizzy sinus noises too.
