Is it normal to get mucus from your tear duct in your eye when you have a sinus infection ? This one eye also blows out tears or air when blowing my nose normally. Should I be concerned about this one eye ?
MD Hi,
This can be due to blocked naso-lacrimal duct. This can also be secondary to sinus infection. Start on antibiotics for your sinus infection after consulting your doctor, steam inhalation 2-3times/day, drink plenty of warm water and also, use saline nasal drops 3 drops 3-4times/day.

Hi. I have had a sinus infection for two weeks now. my thyroid glands are swollen and my mouth feels horrible. I just started taking and antibiotic for the sinus infection. The real issue is that a few days ago, I felt a bump (like a pimple ) on the roof of my mouth (near my front teeth ) and it was kind of sore. Now, it feels swollen and it is pretty painful. (My top wisdom teeth are coming in as well...Just throwing that in). It hurts for anything to rub against it and it is not comfortable to eat. So with that and my sinus infection, my face feels horrible. Please help. If you could give me any home remedies, that would be very helpful. I don t have any insurance at the moment. Thank you.

I have lump that I just noticed on my top mid shoulder/bottom edge of neck . My friend is a CRNP and feels that I should let it go for a while said it could be a lymph node. I was at an urgent care tonight for a sinus infection and I has the doc feel it and she said its hard and fixed and I need to have it biopsied! It feels hard in when I bend my neck forward. But when I am relaxed I can wiggle it around. She was not interested in talking to me anymore about it. Now I am a nervous crying mess. Please offer me sound advice on what could be causing this? I understand that I need to see a Doctor but right now I already have myself so worked up I can hardly think. The lump popped up this past week. It is about an inch, wiggly when I am slouched, and more fixed when neck is tilted forward as to look down.
