A member asked:
Is it abnormal to cough up blood after sinus surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Not really: May have some blood clots for a few days after sinus surgery, it's all normal.
