Orange snot (sorry)

[June1989]

I’m day 11 and my snot is orange when I blow my nose.
I’ve got lots of facial pain too and in my teeth, they’re aching.

Sinus infection!
Maybe call GP. In the meantime lots of fluids, decongestants/sinus spray and inhale steam.

I had this with sinusitis. Google sinus rinse - I saw ENT and they swore this works better than antibiotics.

Do I need antibiotics for a sinus infection?

The colour of this snot is like nothing I’ve ever seen before…it’s orange

I’ve had loads of sinus infections and had an operation at one point to try to resolve the problem. Orange snot is very common!

I know it sounds gross but you can buy Irrapods (or similar)
They are ampules of sterile saline. You snap the end off to squirt out the saline - perfect for a sinus rinse.
