sinus

Accepted Answer

Saline nasal washes: Try Saline nasal washes. The hypotonic saline is soothing and moisturizing to your nasal passages and can help maintain them so they aren't fragile and bleed. It also washes out any mucus that has built up. Also use a little bit pf petroleum jelly swabbed around the inside of your nose to prevent the moisture loss.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Time to see your doc: Upper respiratory symptoms lasting longer than 10 days should be evaluated please.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

worried about blood in mucus? sinus problems the past couple weeks. just got back from out of country. dark blood. only nasal drainage and headaches.

Accepted Answer

Exam: Blood in your mucus may  be because of nasal congestion or a respiratory infection. Furthermore, blowing of the nose often may create broken blood vessels. I suggest an exam at a medical clinic as soon as possible to determine if you have an infection or other condition which can be treated. I wish you well with your health!

Question 5

Sinus infection: Your description sounds like a sinus or upper respiratory infection.  You can see a regular or ENT doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

i had sinus surgery 4 weeks and 1 day ago . today i had black blood in mucas . has been no discharge for 10 days now . is this still to be expected ?

Accepted Answer

Probably: It's likely old blood/clot/scab from the surgery. If continues, or develop new bleeding, you need to have the doctor evaluate.

Question 7

sinus got damaged during tooth extraction. reconstructive surgery was made. doctor said to inform if i notice blood from the nose. there is subtle fluid discharge from the nose but no blood. should i be concerned? is there life long complications?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: If there is any connection of the oral cavity to the maxillary sinus you are at high risk for chronic sinus infection. The present drainage could be just inflammatory in nature but sinus films would be advisable

Question 8

what can i take for sinus congestions that won't raise blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Congestion: If you use a cool mist or warm mist inhaler it will help loosen up congestion. The decongestant meds all can raise blood pressure.

Question 9

on waking have blood in snot and taste of blood . can be sinus related?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: This is possible, but would need to examine you and see where the blood was emanating from.  Suggest you see an ENT expert and get this assessed.  Good luck.

Question 10

is it abnormal to cough up blood after sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for a few days: At first it can be almost continuous.  It should subside after 24-48 hours.  Still, some people can still bleed during the first few weeks.  Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, motrin, buprofen.
