I have nasal discharge and blood crusts, what should I do?

If you are experiencing nasal discharge and crusty blood, it is recommended to start with nasal hygiene using a saline solution. This can help reduce congestion, runny nose, coughing, and sinus pressure. Pain relief can be managed with acetaminophen or ibuprofen, with guidance from a pharmacist to ensure safety. A nasal decongestant spray can provide relief, but should not be used for more than 3 to 5 days. If symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment. Additionally, consider getting a rapid COVID test for precautionary measures.
