What Is This Yellow Liquid Draining From My Right Nostril?
Question by Tyler W.: What is this yellow liquid draining from my right nostril?
A few days ago, I felt my nose running as if it were bleeding, but when I grabbed a tissue, it turned out to be some sort of moderately dark-yellow, watery liquid. My initial thought was that it was my sinuses draining because I recently got over a head cold (which may have been a sinus infection, but I never went to the doctor for antibiotics). But now, 2 days after the initial incident, it still comes out anywhere from one to four times a day (4 times the first day, 1 yesterday, and 2 so far today).
I’m convinced that it’s merely what I said above, but I also happen to know that cranial/ spinal fluid is yellow, so I wanna make sure that I don’t have some freakish neurological problem… I wanted to ask to get other opinions from people that more than likely know more than I about the matter. Here’s some other info that may help:
-As I said, I recently got over a cold/ untreated possible sinus infection
-I have no history of concussions or head injury (although I’ve taken a few good shots in my previous football seasons)
-I have no health complications besides seasonal allergies (usually in the Spring)
-I have no history of drug use (just thought I’d say that so no idiots say “stop using cocaine”)

That sounds horrible 🙁 Poor you.
I think you should see a doctor about this, especially if it is cranial/spinal fluid, as that could be caused due to a knock on the head, your brain being damaged/displaced or swelling.
I’m only a trainee nurse, but I would definitely recommend seeing a professional about this, it’s better to be safe than sorry, don’t just “wait and see” because you might wait and see that you’re in a comma and suffering from compression. Not good.

Judging from your initial signs, it seems to be due to your sinus infection, due to your cold.
Why you didn’t go the doctor for antibiotics and proper diagnosis is beyond me…but i don’t think it is as serious as a spinal injury. Cranial however, is probable.
I suggest stop asking random people on Y.A and go to a proper physician/doctor!
