Child With Runny Nose And Fold. Blood In Mucus. Sinus Infection?
Hello my 1 year old son has had a cold for about 5 days now and his nose has been runny but has recently had bloody mucus running down his nose. Its not always bloody sometimes clear,green,yellow looking and then the bloody one. Is this something I should worry about or is it just because he has a cold or sinus infection? And what would be the best thing for me to do at this point? I use a ball syrenge and wipes to clean his nose. Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Does he have any fever?
Is there any swelling of the face?
Is there any rash on the body?
If there is bloody mucus then he needs to be examined by your doctor and further investigated if required to arrive at a diagnosis and for further action.
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
