A member asked:
Can inflammed sinuses cause minor blood in sputnum and not in nose when blowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The nasal mucosa (skin inside the nostrils) has many, many blood vessels that are prone to breaking from trauma or inflammation. A sinus infection, allergies, or even dry air can cause minor bleeding. For anything persistent or heavier flow, see your doctor.

How do you differentiate between sputum coming from chest/lungs and sputum from post nasal drip/sinuses. I have constant sticky mucus with blood.
When i blow my nose, the mucous is mixed with blood. Does this mean that my sinuses are inflamed and the source of the blood? Nose not the source.
When i blow my nose there's blood. Could it be because of my infected sinuses?
