What Causes Sudden Runny Nose And Yellowish Nasal Discharge While Dusting?
Well today I was cleaning the house and I decided to bend down and grab some trash when I feel my left nostril get runny. I went to grab a napkin and clean my nose after that I checked the napkin and saw a yellow color on it, could this be anything serious?

Hi,
Your symptoms while dusting suggests exposure to dust leading to inflammation in nasal sinus causing inflammation & probably infection. You need anti allergic decongestant pill over the counter with addition of antibiotics. If needful, communicate with an expert ENT specialist, if no relief within 2-3 days. Vapor inhalation would be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
