Hi, I ve recently had a severe cold. The cold has improved and developed to a cough. However the discharge from my cold has changed in color from green to bright orange and there is blood streaks in it. Do I need to see a doctor or is this something that will heal itself and what is it?
Hi, thanks for your query. Whenever there is cold, there will be congestion in the nose which causes nasal bleeding. Decongestant nasal drops + decongestant tablet twice daily + vitamin C tablet will help you to reduce the nasal bleeding. If symptoms persists, consult with the doctor and get evaluated. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
