Sounds like you might have a sinus infection.  It's no big deal, but you need to go see a doctor.

Is it only during the night, or occasionally during daytime hours also? Sometimes this can happen at night if the humidity in the air is low. You're inside the house all night, and if the humidity is low, it can cause dryness inside the nose, which can lead to bleeding. I might suggest the use of a humidifier in each of their rooms as a test. You may want to run it only at night, since some windows (especially with wood trim), can be sensitive to absorbing humidity causing them to swell. Good luck!

This is normal. Having teeth removed, especially if there is a cyst involved. is considered surgery. Depending on the level of complication, it could even be considered major surgery. Swelling is ALWAYS worse 1 - 2 days after the procedure is done. Just refrain from smoking, drinking out of a straw, or anything else that requires a sucking action. Also... if you are rinsing with a slat wter solution, make sure it is ONLY 1tsp per full glass of water. Anything more will hamper with the healing process. The things to watch for are... severe pain (ie 8 - 10 on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the worst), a red line going from the area of the extraction down your neck (it would look like someone took a red marker and drew on your skin), or a really bad taste (not like the tase of blood that I'm sure you are experiencing now, but more of a rotting taste) and severe oozing (not like the little bit I'm sure you are seeing now, but enough that you feel like you are swallowing all the time). If ANY of these things happen, call your dentist IMMEDIATELY. Everyone tolerates pain and surgery differently, but these three things are the standard "something is really wrong" markers.

Sometimes the nasal drainage goes into the stomach and can upset it if it is the only thing there, like in the morning.  Also, he may be dehydrated, that will make kids sick, because of all the stomach acid in their stomach when they haven't drank any water.  I make everybody in my house drink a glass of water first thing in the morning to start the day.  Best wishes

It might.  Is the area red and do you feel any swelling or heat at all?  If you squeeze the nipple is there any drainage?  Seems something triggered this, don't know what you might have done three weeks ago but perhaps some activity instigated this problem.  When you say you are experiencing pain, is it constant or just when you move a certain way?  The reason for my questions is because most likely a doctor will ask the same things, so you may need to visit a doctor and be prepared to give good details.  Good Luck...

Sounds like a typical sinus infection.\nWarm moist heat packs on your face will help relieve the pressure and help with the headaches.\nDepending on the severity of the infection will determine what course of action to take.\nSince you are running a low grade temp. I would suggest you see a Dr who will prescribe the antibiotic you need.\nColor of your nasal mucos will be an indicator as well.\nThe clearer the mucos,the better off you are.\nThe yellower or greener that color is,the worse the problem.\nOften times this infection can allow you to smell the infection and can give you mouth odor.\nBecause your eyes,ears and nose are connected,excessive blowing and ear popping can spread your infection so watch what you do where this is concerned.

im thinking its because your sinues are dried out, and when blowing your nose, the small blood vessels in the area break. i wouldnt worry unless it doesnt stop, try not to blow your nose so much, if its neccessary to blow it, do so gently. i had to have sinus surgery after years iof having sinus infections that would not go away, i had retention cysts in the sinuses in the cheeks, if your continuing to have sinus infections this may be something you would want to discuss with your physician

You're nose becomes dehydrated and needs to stay moist. You will probably need to use some saline mist up your nose.

What you are getting is a mucus discharge that is protecting the airway from drying out.  You definitely need to drink more water during and throughout the day.  Also cut back on some of the dairy products like yogurt, the spores in Yogurt tend to add to this mucus formation.\nBest of luck, oh one more thing do not be afraid to spit when you run or hack this up, it is okay to get rid of it your body will produce more.

Thats really odd. usually if any swelling or pain, would appear as soon as your surgery is done with. If it hurts that bad, i would really recommend calling your doctor. It could be draingage, or an infection. Try putting ice on the area.

Sometimes I get that when I have been working where the air is especially dirty, I blow my nose and the sputum is all black from the crap I have been breathing in. However, if this is a persistent cough, or you have other symptoms you should see your doc. It could be blood, but bloody sputum does not always mean bad news, it could be traces of blood because your nasal passages are/were dry. You didnt speculate further, on your health condition or other symptoms so I cant elaborate....If you start hacking up bright red blood or clots, then go see your doc, other wise dont worry too much.....

i had the same thing and my moms a nurse she said it was okay and it was just a phase in the "growing" cycle so dont worry about it, but if it turns yellow, or green you should see a doctor.

I ended up going to the doctor and getting anti-fungal pills to take.  He ex-rayed my face and there were pockets of stuff in my sinuses.  Everyone I know is complaining of stuffy nose, sinus infection, Katrina cough, sore throats, etc.  You are not doomed. Just get to a doctor and describe what's going on.  Since I took those anti-fungals, I feel much better.  Part of the problem is the mold.  Everything that got wet molded, and with people gutting out their homes, there is all sorts of mold being released into the air.  I wouldn't worry so much about asbestos as the mold.  Also be warned, many of these old houses have layers of lead paint, so lead is also being released.  \n\nThis problem will last for quite a while, as a lot of people STILL have not returned to gut their homes.\n\nAnother factor for you and others from other areas is the humidity.  If you aren't used to the level of humidity we have here, that could be making you feel even worse.  I have a cousin in the National Guard, and he says here at home he now has trouble breathing because he had gotten used to the drier air in Iraq.\n\nThank you for coming to help.

You might just have allergies, but I'm sure the doctor must have considered that and told you to try Benadryl, Claritin, or Allegra at some point.\n\nAntibiotics are appropriate if you have a bacterial sinusitis.  The particular bacteria might be resistant to whatever antibiotics they gave you.  You would need a culture of your snot to determine this.\n\nUltimately though, the problem probably started with poor sinus drainage.  Even with appropriate antibiotics, the problem will recur if the sinus drainage issue isn't resolved.  In the short term, Sudafed would probably help.  I don't like the idea of using Sudafed for more than a couple of weeks though.  If you have allergies exacerbating the situation (do you have a history of seasonal allergies, or any new pets?), then Benadryl or non-sedating Claritin would help.  For really bad cases, I know of a doctor that swears by the Neti pot (he uses it himself).  It's like a little watering pot for plants.  You fill it up with water or saline and pour it into your nose.  Basically you're physically cleaning out your sinus openings.\n\nIf there is a possibility you're allergic to something, I would try Claritin and the Neti pot first for 3 days and see if the symptoms improve.  If you don't think it's an allergy, try Sudafed + Neti pot.  If that doesn't do it, I would go back to the doctor and try another antibiotic together with the Sudafed + Neti pot.  VERY IMPORTANT: IF THE INFECTION SPREADS--YOUR CHEEK BECOMES RED AND PAINFUL OR IT HURTS TO MOVE AN EYE--GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER.  Sinusitis is normally just an inconvenience, not a serious health problem.  It can sometimes spread, however, and cause cellulitis in your cheek or an orbital abscess in your eye socket--both very serious conditions.

Hi there !\nDo you have any symptoms suggesting  chronic infections of Ear Nose or Throat...or sinuses ?\nMild amounts of mucus strands attached to "here and there" of the buccal cavity if normal..!\nYour history is so vague that ..nothing can be inferred..\nBetter why dont you consult a GOOD  ENT consultant ?\nBest wishes ...

This is why you make sure your nasal passages are clear BEFORE you do lines! \n\nBut seriously: Eww. \n\nFunny, though...

A new blood clot could maybe be there, perhaps there is enough lateral flow to keep the swelling subsided.  But I'm thinking more likely it could be a lymphatic problem and fluid is accumulating lymphatically.  Definitely keep on top of this with your doctor!  Get well!
