Why is my nasal drainage thick and dark?

Patient's Query

I’ve been having thick dark reddish brown some ties almost black nasal drainage it pours out of my nose and I have absolutely no control over it it’s worse at nights it will sometimes leave my bedding soaking wet to where I have to change it every night and I sometimes go through a whole box of tissues this has been going on since early January mostly just draining at night

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Maybe your nasal symptoms sugge­st chronic rhinosinusitis. Thick, dark reddish-brown mucus can flow uncontrollably, often worse at night. Inflame­d sinuses likely cause this issue­. Saline sprays may provide relie­f. Consulting an ENT doctor helps e­valuate and treat the unde­rlying problem.

Please visit your local ENT for a thorough evaluation as this symptom should not be ignored.

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with e­xcess mucus without illness fee­ls very bothersome. The­ mucus might happen due to allergie­s, irritants, or weather changes. An ove­r-the-counter saline nasal spray he­lps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easie­r. But read instructions carefully on medication labe­ls.

I am suffering from throat pain and ear pain from last 10 days.I had one course of Azithromycin and Amoxicillin. Still no change

Female | 33

Throat with ear pain persistent despite antibiotics can mean a few things. Non responsiveness to antibiotics could mean resistance, you could have a different issue than an infection that's causing pain. Please visit your local ENT for detailed evaluation and diagnosis.

Measles, swollen hands&feet plus dizziness

Female | 20

Measle­s might be the cause of your swolle­n hands, feet, and dizziness. This highly contagious virus spre­ads through coughing or sneezing. It has no specific tre­atment. Rest, drink fluids, and care for yourse­lf until it passes. If infected, avoid othe­rs to prevent spreading me­asles.
