I seem to have a nasty sinus infection, mostly in the upper sinus (ethymoid--sp).
I feel lousy and have a sore throat. Anyway, I'm getting lots of yellow gook. My problem is that I'm
bleeding a lot too. It seems I have no problems blowing out the gook (which provides quite a bit of
relief) but over the last few days the bleeding has increased. Basically, every time I blow my nose,
half the stuff is yellow **** and now half seems to be fresh blood. I'm trying to blow gently, but
if I blow just enough to get everything out, the blood comes too. (It started out as just a little
blood but as I said it's more now). It also get in my throat and I cough up blood (but clearly from
a little bit of back nasal drip).
I haven't seen any reference to bleeding in the sinusitis descriptions. Is this unusual?? Or is it
just a typical symptom?
My concern/fear of course is something more serious, like cancer.
