nasal problem.
 

sorry if this is gross but i have thick foul smelling nasal mucus of a variety of colors and bad post nasal drip. is this a reason to be concerned? more than a typical cold? i don't have a fever or anything and i am functioning just fine except for a headache and slight cough and sore throat...that i figure is just from my drip.

i really don't want to go to the dr for no reason.

again...sorry for the grossness and i appreciate the help.

sounds like sinusitis, a sinus infection/inflammation of sinuses. i googled it and every site i've seen points to smelly nose drippings being a sign of sinusitis, also it mentions some variety in colour, the dripping going down the throat causing sore throats and coughs.

i'd go to the dr, get some antibiotics before the infection gets into your chest.

Yeah sounds like an infection. Worth speaking toyour doctor pretty soon to help prevent it from spreading.

wait, i got something right? don't all faint from shock at once.

Ok I'll go to the darn doctor. Thanks everyone. And mandimoo you were right AND first!

not a common occurence believe me!
