Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I am Dr. Jaydeep and I am pleased to assist you.
If you have blood coming out with sputum, it needs further evaluation. It could be due to a chronic pharyngitis ( if you have a history of recurrent cold ). Since it is also coming out of nose, sinus pathology needs to be ruled out. In chronic sinusitis cases, patients present with recurrent cold and throat infections, without headache or facial pain.
It will be really helpful if you can get the following investigations done and follow-up with me :
1) CBC with ESR.
2) X-RAY/ CT Para-Nasal Sinuses ( PNS ).
3) Sputum Culture.
Kindly get these investigations done and upload your results. I will guide you further.
Regards.

Hello,
Only Pranayam and nasal drop is not going to treat the infection.
Kindly get the investigations done as I mentioned and you also need an antibiotic like Cap. Augmentin 625 mg twice daily for 5-7 days. Yellow mucus suggests infection. The investigations will help us understanding the source.
Feel free to discuss further,
Dr. Jaydeep
