What Do Blood Tinged Mucus And Sinus Pressure Without Fever Suggest?

Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016

Question: I have bloody mucous, sinus pressure but no fever, should I just ride it out?

Brief Answer:
Sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Sinusitis may not necessarily present with fever. If on PNS x ray or CT there is evidence of sinusitis then antibiotics, nasal decongestants, local steroids and antihistamines should be advised to treat the infection. Local causes of blood in mucus should be looked for and treated accordingly.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
