How To Get Rid Of Sinus Infection?
I have had cold pr sinus infection like symptoms for a couple of days and started taking amoxicillin thinking it is a sinus infection. Last night I could feel something in my nose but couldn t blow it out so i sucked and it came out of my mouth and I spit it in the sink. It was a fleshy type substance with some blood, it was a couple of inches long and about one inch wide. Since doing that my symptoms drastically tapered off overnight. What could it be?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thank you for the query.
What came out is a mucus plug which had formed in your nasopharynx as a result of your nasal and sinus infection.
You would be feeling much better now that it is out.
You can prevent its recurrence by using a nasal decongestant tablet and nasal spray.
Wish you good health.
