Sinusitis?: This could be due entirely to dryness, but green color and blood streaks suggest infection. First try simple saline nasal spray, available at any pharmacy over the counter. If no change after 2-3 days, try an antibiotic. A good one would be azithromycin in the form called Z-pak, probably available in your country w/o prescription (1 dose daily x 5d). See a doctor if that doesn't do it. Good luck!
