Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Dear patient, acute rhinosinusitis generally results from allergy or infections most commonly viral infections but may be super added with bacterial or fungal infections and most of the time the episode resolves with in 10 days but may some times extend upto 4 weeks and a blood tinged nasal discharge during sneezing can happen due to forceful blowing and inflammation that may cause rupture of small blood vessels of nasal mucosa but still it will be better if you consult an ENT surgeon who can examine you and can also get some tests like X-RAY PNS or CT scan PNS done to rule out some other cause of bloody nasal discharge besides rhinosinusitis like polyps or tumours
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks

Hi there ~
You may have nasal congestion in one side of your nose and a deviated nasal septum. However you need to confirm this by visiting with your doctor who might order an X-ray or a CT of the PNS region (medical gobble degoo) and you will be on your way to health. I hope you consult an ENT doctor as an alternative or if you could afford it, initially.
Hope this helped. Take care and have a good day !
