Weeping infection by my septum
Hello, 2 weeks ago I had blocked sinus on my left side. Definitely wasn't a cold. Nostril was totally blocked with a heavy ache under left eye. I THINK the plugging of my nostril with tissue (couldn't blow it) made me sore and now my septum is pouring with a clear, yellow sticky water and won't stop for 7 days now. Within every 30 secs it pours down over my lips if I would let it. I can't actually see where it's coming from. It's not a visible wound. Please can you help.

You seem to be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which is common type of nose and sinus infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery. Steam inhalation is also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
