What Causes Greenish Mucus Discharge From Nose With Blood Clots In It?
Question: I got stuck in a snow storm on weds. And have been very sick since. No throwing up just massive congestion in nose and ears. Yesterday evening started to get a greenish mucus out of my nose and coughing it up also. Throat was sore but no longer, but my worry now is the mucus coming out of my nose has blood in it. And my right eye is also producing a lot of sleep as I call it.
Brief Answer:
sounds like an upper respiratory tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
this incident is probably unrelated to the snow storm. Such situations occur after catching a virus (or bacterium sometimes). If you don't have any fever and/or headache then this is likely a common cold. This condition has no effective treatment. Only symptomatic treatment is possible.
When common cold occurs, some sinus irritation is present. If you also have headache then sinusitis is very likely. Sinusitis may also be treated with antibiotics and nasal sprays (corticosteroids and perhaps decongestants), which may also help for the ears. Blood coming out of the nose is usually caused by too much blowing. If it's severe or persistent then an ENT examination would be required to exclude other causes. I've not quite understood what sleepy eye means. Please explain in more detail.
So in conclusion, symptomatic treatment should continue. Checking for fever is very important. If you've got fever or serious symptoms besides the nasal congestion then you should definitely be examined by your doctor.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!

My eye is itchy and red and it has mucus coming out in the tear duck area that is a cream color. A lot of it
Brief Answer:
you should see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible
Detailed Answer:
Although it may be a sign of sinusitis, you should see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Creamy discharge from the eye could be the result of an infectious process. Eye infections should be treated promptly to avoid serious complications!
In case it's sinusitis, it's another reason to visit your doctor because sinusitis with eye swelling and tearing is usually a serious one which requires antibiotic treatment. You'd better clarify this issue with your doctor as soon as possible!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
