What Causes Blood In Phlegm During A Bout Of Cold?

I ve had a cold moving through my body for the past few days and today it s in my chest. I even ended up losing my voice. I have had a bit of yellow coming out when I blow my nose. However today it is an orange pink colour. It mostly only happens when I blow my Nose, except s few times it has been so liquidity it was just dripping out when I was bent over to brush my teeth. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to upper respiratory infection. Sinusitis gives such symptoms. Examination with an ENT specialist is well appreciated. Nasal decongestants , anti histamines and antibiotics will be helpful to clear this. Steam inhalation is good also. Take warm fluids like lemon tea with honey , chicken soup with pepper. Taking chewable vitamin C is helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
