Brief Answer:
Any blood stained nasal discharge must be examined.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Sinus infections and nasal discharge are common, however any blood stained nasal discharge needs medical attention especially if you are hypertensive or diabetic.
2. You should get this examined as soon as possible. The cause may be easily curable but you should not be treating this at home.
3. Apply ice and avoid using warm water and steam.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
