yellow liquid from nose

The New-Test Forum - Sinuses

FromTo
I was knealing down earlier and a stream of yellow watery liquid came from my right nostril. I'd say about 2 tablespoons of liquid is what ran out of my nose. This was not mucus and I have not been sick at all lately. About an hour later I bent over again and could feel it about to happen again and blew my nose right away, again it was a yellow liquid. I have never experienced this before. I tried researching on the net but no real luck yet. I have not had any kind of head injury lately. I do work in hot conditions though almost daily. I work new construction in houses with no AC, with temps getting above 110 with the heat index. This week I did get pretty hot 2 days in a row. I have worked in these conditions before and it has never bothered me, but on these 2 particular days, my eyes at the end of the day burned a good bit. Could the heat be hurting me in a way I am not aware of ? Today was Saturday and I didn't work, so I didn't get hot at all. Can someone please help me out here and point me in the right direction of what might be wrong.dom31875

All I can think of is an undiagnosed sinus infection that discharged real loose like that for an unknown reason. Any yellow or green or yellowish green discharge from the nose indicates infection. I have had sinus infections without even realizing it. Go to the Doc. Untreated sinus infections can really screw up your ears and sense of balance, leading to constant dizziness, nauseau etc. Not to mention the damage to your sinuses,i.e. loss of smell and taste. Hope this helps

I get sinus and bronchitus infections all the time. Yellow means Sinus, Green means Bronchitus. Also, a sinus infection can easily turn into Bronchitus. I recommend going to the doctor and getting some medicine. Also, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. Sinus infections are usually accompanied by headaches and some fatigue of various levels depending on how bad it is. And one other thing I would recommend (especially if you've got allergies or postnasal drip) is a sinus rinse. It's not medicated and therefore is safe to use with other medications. Neilmed makes a sinus rinse kit which can be purchased online at neilmed.com or at various stores/pharmacies. Although, if you do decide to try it, make sure you read the directions very carefully, and more than once before you start. It's also a bit weird feeling the first time, and you may have to do it twice before you start to really get the full effect, but I would definitely say it's worth while. But first, you should go to a doctor and see what they say, if nothing else then to confirm what's really going on.

I wish you all the best.
