What Causes Spitting Up Blood And Black Bruised Eye After Injury?

I got hit in the nose and eye in a martial arts match. I blew my nose later on that night and the skin right below my eye puffed out. The next day I had a black eye. This happened a week ago, I have been spitting mucus with dark blood in it. Is this normal? Thanks

Hi

Welocme to HealthcareMagic forum

Spitting of dark blood is the accumulated clots inside the sinuses, which are getting washed off gradually. Indeed, it would be a matter of concern if you notice fresh blood in the mucus.
