Suffering from cold, cough, sneezing red color. Never taken any treatment before. What to do?
Patient: Hello Doctor. Since 3 weeks I am suffering from cold and caugh. Whilw sneezing I noticed that sneeze from one nostil is in red colour. But I don t have any pain or continous flow of sneeze. Usually I don t take treatment for caugh and cold. Every time they by themselves. Actually I don t have any problem with cold but a little with caugh. What should I do Doc suggest me. Doctor: Hello Welcome to health care magic Dear patient, acute rhinosinusitis generally results from allergy or infections most commonly viral infections but may be super added with bacterial or fungal infections and most of the time the episode resolves with in 10 days but may some times extend upto 4 weeks and a blood tinged nasal discharge during sneezing can happen due to forceful blowing and inflammation that may cause rupture of small blood vessels of nasal mucosa but still it will be better if you consult  an ENT surgeon who can examine you and can also get some tests like X-RAY PNS or CT scan PNS done to rule out some other cause of bloody nasal discharge besides rhinosinusitis like polyps or tumours  Wish you speedy recovery Thanks Dr Arshad
