What Causes Blood Spitting, Swelling Above Eye, Sinus Pain After Forehead/sinus Injury?

hi. i got hit in the forehead/sinus by the scope of a gun today during backfire.I've been consistently spitting up small amounts of blood for about 5 hours. I have a little bit of swelling above my eye and some pain in my sinuses. The blood seems to be coming from mucus. Should this be a concern?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should take your xray face done.

There is chance of blood and mucus coming from the sinus fracture.

X ray will tell you the nature of injury, if its fracture it is the emergency situation and you should visit the near by ER.

Fracture should be attended as early as possible. If it remains unattended it can cause further bleeding.

You can take tablet aceclofenac and pantoprazole for pain and acidity.

Please maintain local hygiene it clears the wound rapidly.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
