What Is The Cause Of A Yellow Nasal Discharge?
good morning, my husband is 51 years old healthy. This morning he bent over to pick something up and a yellow liquid poured out of his nose. He thought he was getting a bloody nose, but a yellow liquid came out. It happened twice. Should he seek emergency advice? what could it be? thank you! Teresa

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The yellow discharge can be a normal nasal secretion or can be a pus discharge secondary to maxillary sinusitis. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Take steam inhalation.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
