    Sinus Infection, concerned about coughing blood

    I suffer with sinuses almost all year round if I include hay-fever as well. Certain things make it worse and causes me to cough as if something is tickling my throat or at times choking me.
    And last night I was coughing on and off all through the night to the point of coughing a few specks of blood.
    I wanted to to know if anyone else has had this, whether I should be concerned and any tips to ease sinus infections would be helpful to all.
    Thank you x

    Re: Sinus Infection, concerned about coughing blood

    It's pretty common with a bad cough. I've had it twice in my life and obviously rushed myself to A&E first time it happened. It's usually just from a hyper irritated airway or a 'nicked nerve' (as the Doctor in the hospital said).

    Keep an eye on it, but it's nothing that's to be immediately concerned about.

    As for the infection, I've found that snorting saline helps a lot. I buy the commercial one and use it as it's in a spray that's much easier to get right up there. Helps with post nasal drip too which you might get afterwards, and of course it helps with allergies.

    It's like over blowing your nose with a cold and seeing blood..

    Good to hear from you Mrs. C! Sorry it’s under these circumstances though.

    Sinus infections are so miserable. I also cough or blow blood specks with those infections so don’t worry about that. So easy to irritate those passages.

    for me, hot steam works great. I have a kettle on my stovetop, I heat water till it whistles then pour it in a big bowl, add a couple drops of eucalyptus oil, and put my head over the bowl to inhale the steam thru my nose. Usually drape a towel over my head to help hold more steam in, like a tent lol. I look pretty goofy for sure, but it helps.

    get well soon!
