Please provide further info.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

You might have possible infection or unnoticed trauma to you nose which has lead to this mixed bloody and yellowish discharge.

I would like to know if you had any head injury in the recent past?

Since how many days do you have this issue?

Thank you.
