Can Sinus Infections, Nasal Drip, Mucus Stool And Rectal Bleeding Be Treated?
Every time I have prolonged sinus infections and thick post nasal drip I have mucus in my stool and blood in my stool. And I can t hold it- kind of like what I hear IBS patients feel. Gotta go now. It s also uncomfortable to go. How do I fix this? These things clear up after the drip stops but I live in the South and we have constant allergy problems. So I deal with this about 2-4xs a year and have been for many years now. What s wrong with me? What to do? How to fix?

Hello,
You may be suffering from sinusitis or polyps with irritable bowel syndrome with bleeding per rectum secondary to haemorrhoids or fissure.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Avoid spicy food and alcohol.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet montelukast and levocetirizine once a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
