Just had a couple of drips of bright orange watery fluid from my nostril! Looks like orange juice (I havn't drunk any recently).

I've had a bit of sinusitis and am taking Amoxycillin at the moment to clear it up.

Am I dying or what?

[+1] - Dorothy Parker - 09/07/2008Hiya. Not sure what's in bloom at the moment but it's so rainy here I don't think it could be pollen. It's too bright to be blood. It's the colour of Sunny D! Not sniffed any coke...

Hiya.

Not sure what's in bloom at the moment but it's so rainy here I don't think it could be pollen.

It's too bright to be blood. It's the colour of Sunny D!

Not sniffed any coke recently.

Hope it's not brain fluid.

Thanks anyway guys.

Seems several have asked about this on the internet, but I can't find where anyone has answered.

This site is saying some dyes from food or drink could be the cause...

@caribou,

Acute sinus infection
In addition to nasal congestion, expect to see discolored mucus (yellow, green, or occasionally more delightful colors. Brilliant orange, that was my personal favorite), facial pain, facial pressure, and an overall crappy feeling (malaise). Fever is uncommon in adults.

Sounds like blood to me! Get it checked by a doctor.
