What Causes Orange Nasal Discharge?

Hi, I just blew my nose and had orange/yellowish liquid come out. should I be concerned? it wasn t a mucus consistency but more like liquid. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection about 2 weeks ago in which i was given a Zpack that I finished last monday. I still have lingering congestion though.

Hello,

Sometimes congestion can lead to accumulation of small amount of blood in the sinuses which degenerates and can cause orange discoloration. It's nothing to worry.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Deepak Sundriyal, Oncologist
