Does Dark Greenish Nasal Discharge While Suffering From Flu Need Medical Attention?
I WENT TO MEDEXPRESS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO FOR A SINUS INFECTION I GET THEM ALL THE TIME. AFTER I STARTED MY OMNICEF I ENDED UP WITH THE FLU. I HAVE CHRONIC MIGRAINE AND MY HEAD IS STILL KILLING ME WITH ALL THIS PRESSURE AND I HAVE BEEN BLOWING DARK GREEN AND YELLLOW AND A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD DO I NEED TO GO BACK FOR MORE ANTIBIOTICS SINCE THE FLU MAY HAVE DELAYED MY HEALING TIME
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Yes, greenish nasal discharge is commonly result of bacterial pseudomonas infection and require medical attention. I think your headache is related to sinus infection once it gets treated your headache will subside till then you can take acetaminophin, ibuprofen for pain. I think you should take a course of antibiotic, ciprofloxacin and consultation of doctor is recommended.
Do let me know if this was helpful and if you have any more questions.
Get well soon.
Regards, Dr. Akash Kumar
