default
Posted on Fri, 24 Apr 2015
Question: Hello,
Yesterday I noticed that I have a bloody nose and I tried to clear my throat without coughing to get out the mucex from my throat I notice the mucex contain a very tiny amount of blood like a point of a pencil and I went to the dr and he told me that I have a mild infection in my chest and asked for x-Ray . FYI I have a surgery in my nose I fixed the Septem if my nose and removed the turbinate. The weather in my country is very dusty these day , could my bloody nose from the dust? And could the blood from my nose drips in my throat? Even though I'm a hookah smoker I some it once a day
I feel the mucex is coming from my nose not my throat or lungs

Brief Answer:
The blood from your throat is most likely from the nose!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this blood you have reported and all the inconveniences this must have caused you. I have reviewed your information fully and it is suggestive that the blood is from the nose. The nose and the throat communicate freely and a drop of this blood from your nostrils must have rolled back to the throat that was coughed out. This is most likely not from the chest and not suggestive of a chest infection.

Having had surgery in the nose, this means that the area is a lot fragile and dry, dusty conditions can cause easy bruising. This is probably the reason why. If it if possible to get a mask for breathing while in dusty milieu, this would help.

In all, this blood is most likely from the nose and has no relationship with chest/lung infection.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
No, you cannot get HIV from that!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

The HIV cannot live out of the body. Therefore, even if there were a virus on it, it would have been long dead before any contact with you.

I hope this helps. If there are any further worries, I am glad to address them.
