Nope.  There are lots of tiny blood vessels up there so if you have been blowing your nose or sneezing a lot then maybe one has popped?  Sinusitis is painful - like being hung over for no reason  :-\

Have you tried using NeilMed Sinus Rinse? It's a plastic bottle and you squirt water with salt solution added to it up one nostril and it comes out the other - very effective at shifting mucus.

Also steam inhalation over a hot bowl of water with a towel over your head and a few drops of Olbas oil?

Both these could help - they've helped me when I've had sinus issues.

TMI - I used to get a blood streaked straw coloured liquid come out of my nose when I had sinusitis!

I had sinusitis so frequently that I eventually had surgery which thankfully was a great success.

Now use Nasonex spray daily and (fingers crossed) can't remember the last time I had sinusitis 😃
