What Does Bloody Mucus In The Throat Indicate?

I have thick white or sometimes bloody mucus build up in the back of my throat. I am post sinus surgery( every single sinus was operated on plus cfl repaired with graft on right side. I have 0 sense of smell or taste with the exception of a weird sense of acid or ammonia that won t go away. The mucus in my throats during the day is thick greenish with blood mixed in it. Lately during the night I wake up because I can t swallow and there is thick white mucus covering the back of my throat. I have been treated twice in the last 3 weeks with strong antibiotics and steroids , however the back of my throat continues to be very red and the problem with the mucus is no better at all. Thank you for any help you can give me. Laura

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids to maintain hydration. Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of excess sugar , oily , non veg , spicy , dairy fat , junk foods, artificial sweeteners. Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day. Deep breathing exercises, walking in fresh air, YOGA help to recover faster. Avoid exposure to dust , pollens; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take Cefadroxil twice a day for five days, you can take Paracetamol twice a day for five days. You can Rantac D twice a day for five day, give Salbutamol twice a day for five days. Avoid smoking or any form of tobacco consumption. Avoid stress, anxiety. Tessalon pearls 3 times a day. Basil leaves, turmeric powder in boiled skimmed milk, pure honey, Chamomile, tea are herbal recovering agents. Consult later your doctor if required for further evaluation with lab tests, X-ray, chest & detailed management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
