Brown Mucus

Mucus is normally clear and does not represent any sickness unless it becomes excessive and/or discolored. You often discharge bloody or brownish mucus when your sinuses are engorged and blood mingles with your mucus. Brown mucus is a common complain of smokers, because tobacco smoke can better engorge your sinuses.

When you have nasal polyps or irritated mucus membranes, your mucus is blood stained and looks brownish or bloody. Blood stained mucus is also the case with an irritated throat. Alcohol consumers often have engorged throats and bronchi, thus coughing up blood stained or brownish mucus.

Several other things may cause your mucus to be brown. These include the following:

• Certain foods, such as chocolate, other snacks, garlic and red wine
• Bacteria and viruses
• Nose bleeding
• Alcohol consumption

Although these can discolor your mucus to a brown color, your mucus may take several other colors due to various causes. Other mucus colors include clear, white, yellow, and green.

If you discharge brown mucus, SinusWars5 and/or SinusWars13 is/are the best remedy(ies) for you.
