A member asked:
I've been going through a nasty virus/bacteria for 1 week taking antibiotics my nose mucus is blood stained a generous amount. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood stained mucus: Blood stained mucus likely from excessive blowing of your nose: topical decongestant nasal spray (such as Afrin) may help 3-4x/d; best to see PCP to be sure if continues.
