What Causes Black Mucus Discharge From Nose?
Question: I have had a cold for a week but am noticing black mucus streaks when I have to blow my nose as it is. So blocked
Brief Answer:
Nasal wash
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that your nasal discharge infected may be due to rhinosinusitis and in this condition I personally advised
1. Neti wash nasal wash once in the morning.
2. Nasal and systemic nasal decongestant.
3. Antibiotic.
4. Steam inhalation three times a day for atleast five minutes each.
Wish you good health
