Brown, bloody mucus

Question

Brown, bloody mucus

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I have been experiencing a sharp pain in my left forehead just above the eyebrow. It started last week when I was in the mid-air, in a flight. Since then, the pain is there. And for the last two days I noticed this rusty, brownish red mucus. I am really worried. Dr. Google says it can be sinusitis and if so, rusty mucus is common. Please help me!

Acute sinusitis and rusty brownish mucous is actually a blood mixed mucous. Nasal mucous is congested and brittle due to infection and when you try to clear the nose with force , small amount of blood will come out with mucous. Adv: broad spectrum antibiotic, nasa decongestant tab and nasal drop and steam inhalation Stop forceful blowing of nose
