Bright orange snot After Diving?
Hey so about a week ago I was diving and had problems equalising my left ear when It finally worked it sounded a little crackily. And felt like I might have gotten water in my ear. I had pains in the ear for about two days. After a week I have been diving again submerging very slowly and eqaulising very softly. After about 30 minutes I was really congested so I cleared my nose and a bright neon orange snot came out . Does anyone know what's going on ????
Thanks. David Last edited by davidiskol; 01-25-2015 at 11:45 PM. |

Re: Bright orange snot After Diving?
Any colored snot is the sign of a sinus infection

Just got over an ear infection myself.
Luckily, the crackling in my ear gave it away well before the pain and colored ooze stage. |

Re: Bright orange snot After Diving?
I'm prone to sinus infections and because I never get any pain from them in my face like most people the only way I know if I have one is from the color of my snot. Because your basically prone position when diving your sinus' drain easier and that's why a lot of times when your finished diving you have a lot of snot to clear out.
When I finish diving and see really yellow or even snot with blood I know it's time to go see the ENT. |

If you're just there on vacation you can probably wait to see a doctor, but if you're going to be there a while I would recommend getting it checked out. The earlier you treat it the better. |

Sinus infection. Sounds like when you get down to pressure the mucus you have is being released, which means you need to see a doctor before it build up. The presure build up is the worst part, it feels like you skul is expanding and hurts like hell. Go see a doctor.

In Nic, you can most likely get antibiotics at a pharmacy instead of having to go to a doc.

Re: Bright orange snot After Diving?
I get them all the time and never need to go to the doctor for them . If you take some warm water and add table salt until it is as salty as sea water , then suck it in threw your nose a little at a time , then bend over and shake your head a little to work it into your sinus , and also lay on the bed on your back with your head hanging off the side ,then blow your nose when you are done blow your nose , a huge amount of mucus will clear out .The salt dose two things it liquefys mucus , and it is a anti-bacterial so it removes the blockage and it also kills the bacteria

It sounds way worse than it is , it's the same thing people do with a netti pot .
It also gets the sand out of your sinus if you really get trashed surfing a big shore break |

Re: Bright orange snot After Diving?
sounds like you just ruptured some capillaries in your sinuses.
