Question 1

can a sinus infection be bad enough to infect my mouth and facial bones but i don't cough or sneeze a lot, or have a fever? bloody nose some mornings.

Accepted Answer

Usually not: This sounds like something much more than a typical sinus infection. Sounds like you need to see a doctor and possibly get a ct scan of the facial bones and/or sinus.

Question 2

is it normal to have two nose bleeds while being treated for a sinus infection??

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Acute bacterial sinus infection can sometimes present with blood tinged mucous. If the bleeding persist then evaluation by a Physician would be appropriate and there can be many other causes of a bloody nose.

Question 3

can a sinus infection give you lots of nose bleeds? i have one according to my doc he gave levofloxacin for it, but nose still bleeds a lot

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Sinus infections are known for causing fever, pressure sensation, and pain/headache; nosebleeds are not a common symptom. I would definitely get a second opinion, consider going to an ENT specialist.

Question 4

can a sinus infection be on just one side of the head? is it 'normal' to smell a weird smell & have nose bleeds down throat? what about ear/eye pain?

Accepted Answer

See ENT ASAP: Yes, sinus infections may be unilateral.  Your symptoms are not normal. See an ENT specialist soon.  This is not likely to improve without treatment, and may get worse.

Question 5

i have a cold for about a 9 days. it is not going away. green mucus from nose and throat. blood in nose. facial pain and cough. sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Good chance: After nine days and with the facial pain developing, it is certainly possible that you have a sinus infection.  Even so, it is still possibly viral if you are a non-smoker.  I would see your doctor or urgent care tomorrow and in the meantime, try the neti-pot or nasal saline spray, ibuprofen and dayquil/nyquil.

Question 6

are nosebleeds common when you have a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anything that irritates your nasal membranes or causes excess dryness can cause nosebleeds. Colds, sinus infections, allergies, cold dry air, nasal polyps, and sniffing or inhaling irritating substances into the nose can all cause nose bleeds. Very high blood pressure can also cause nosebleeds. So can a low platelet count or other blood clotting problem.

Question 7

would a sinus infection cause nosebleeds? i get dizzy throughout day and a nosebleed in afternoon for 5 days now, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

You: Probably will not bleed enough from a sinus infection to cause light headiness. With sinuses, sometimes balance mechanism in inner ear get involved. Blood also comes from broken capillaries in your nasal passages. Recommend see ENT if bleeding persist.

Question 8

i had about 6 nosebleeds from february to now & i went to the emergency room & they said i have a sinus infection. could anything else be happening?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Dry air in winter often contributes to nose bleeds. If the problem persists, you should see an ENT specialist who may cauterize the area the usually bleeds.

Question 9

they told me i have fluid in my ears and a sinus infection is it normal to have nosebleeds cause i have been having some?

Accepted Answer

Yes : With a sinonasal infection, the mucous membrane of the nose and sinuses is inflamed. It is extremely common to have bloody discharge or even some heavier nosebleeds. Treat the sinus infection as directed by your  doctor, but don't forget increased oral fluids and nasal saline irrigations to flush out the nose and sinuses.

Question 10

does nose congestion sneezing and nosebleeds on one side and sinus pressure sound like a sinus infection and can lymph nodes swell only partially?

Accepted Answer

: You need to be seen by an ENT doc. There is no partial or full swelling of lymphnodes as they can be from pea size to a golf ball depending on the condition causing the enlargement
