Question 1

Question 2

Antibiotics yes: Yes could be due to antibiotics, see your doctor.

Question 3

yesterday i began having sinus pressure and last night a fever. today i am sneezing, blowing my nose, slight drainage and some diharrea.?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a virus: Which virus would be extremely difficult if not impossible to determine, but make sure you get your influenza vaccine yearly.  Hope this will clear up quickly and you will feel better.

Question 4

can sinus drainage cause loose stool and diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't: In theory, if you have a huge amount of mucus, that can pass through into your stool and cause diarrhea, but usually this is only seen in infants and children. But many viruses, such as adenovirus and enterovirus can cause runny nose (not a sinus infection) and loose stool, so something like this could account for your symptoms.

Question 5

11 yr old started with sinus drainage, then added each of the following: headache, cough, and just now diarrhea. plus xtra sleep, cold?

Accepted Answer

Likely: This is likely related to an infection or can be related to other issues. An evaluation by your pediatrician would be required to diagnose with more certainty and to determine if further work up or treatments are required.

Question 6

should i see a doctor? i have had cough, pain in right upper chest for the past 11 days. had diarrhea at beginning, but thought i was having gallbladder problems. i have cut down on eating and have drainage that tastes bad.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Best would be to see your doc, who is aware of your past medical history and can put together the right plan for you. Among others, pneumonia appears possible and as such has to be addressed timely.

Question 7

wake up every morning with drainage in my throat & this makes me nauseous & causes diarrhea but my nose isn't stuffed or anything. how can i fix this?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: This may be post-nasal drip, reflux esophagitis, an esophageal diverticulum, or other cause.  You need to be seen and examined to have this worked out. Good luck.

Question 8

bled on 15th day of cycle, on and off for about 6 hours. next few days saw light brown discharge. no pain, but i experienced a little diarrhea. help?

Accepted Answer

Test: If you bled on the 15th day after your last period, this is uncommon. It depends on if you are on the pill or not. I would take  a pregnancy test.

Question 9

i regularly have a mucus type substance discharge almost like diarrhea. it is sometime bloody. any idea what would cause this?

Accepted Answer

Mucus discharge: You should see a gastroenterologist and undergo a colonoscopy to rule out the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease.

Question 10

what does diarrhea & brown discharge mean?

Accepted Answer

The brown discharge: Is usually older, deoxygenated blood being cleaned from the uterus. Can't tell you what the combination of discharge and loose stools specifically indicates.
