Is Nasal Tissue Discharge A Cause For Concern?

I have been stuffed up the past few days with what feels like a sinus infection. Pressure in my head, no fever & no sore throat. However, the past 2 days, as I was blowing my nose, a large chunk of flesh colored mucous that I think may actually be tissue came out. Is this a cause for alarm? Is this actual tissue or a form of mucous I ve never seen before?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of congestion or stuffed up along with head pressure seems to be due to Sinus infection only..
A big chunk of tissue coloured mucous can be thick mucous along with blood that might be obstructing the nasal passage leading to congestion..
It can also be a polyp thatight have formed in the nasal passage and during vigorous snuffing of nose it has detached and came off..
Nothing to worry as it will lead to opening up of the nasal.passage and will improve the condition..
I would suggest you to do steam inhalation, saline nasal irrigation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also take decongestant nasal spray containing Xylometazoline.
In case if still there is no improvement consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS View x ray of sinuses can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkiller, Oral decongestant and steroid nasal spray..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
