Why am I getting blood through nose and cough?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. I had a fever some 15 days back, which lasted for two days. Now, for the past few days, blood is coming out along with running nose. Also, I am getting blood through cough. I am not having fever now and feel normal. However, I feel that something oozing in the throat. Around seven months ago, I had a little bit of blood on spitting. I had an x-ray before seven months and it was normal.

Hi,

Welcome to our platform.

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concern.

As you have mentioned that there is blood in nasal secretion and cough and the chest x-ray is normal, I think this is related to the sinus infection.Many times chronic sinusitis can cause prolonged running nose. The infection could be fungal or bacterial of paranasal sinuses. In my opinion, you should get an x-ray of paranasal sinuses and consult an ENT specialist as you may need antibiotics too. Also, check complete blood count and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Please take steam inhalation four times a day. In my opinion, you need a proper ENT checkup.
