What Causes Yellowish Orange Discharge From Nose?
I was at work today and out of nowhere I felt like my nose was running, but also felt liquid draining down my throat. I blew my nose and it came out yellowish/orange (like food coloring). I have had yellow discharge before after a cold, but I don t have and haven t had a cold recently. I am worried.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
It could be mucus secretions. I would suggest you not to worry in this case. If you have sore throat then would recommend to take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 2-3 days. It will give soothing effect.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
