A member asked:
I was diagnosed with a sinus infection but my lungs were clear. ihave been spitting up yellow mucus with streaks of blood. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The fluid from your nose runs backward into your throat. From there, it stimulates coughing or spitting. The yellow mucous with streaks of blood is from your sinuses. This is good, it means that the mucous is moving out of your sinuses and your infection is starting to clear up. Good luck.
