A member asked:
I think i've had a sinus infection for about a week now because the mucus in 1 side of my nose is entirely bloody, is this a really bad thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Bleeding for a week is never a good thing. You may have a sinus infection but a presenting symptom of that isn't typically bleeding. I'd suggest a visit to your primary healthcare provider for an evaluation and recommendations for follow-up.
