my baby is 2,5 months old and she has a sinus infection. when sucking out her gunk with that special bulb there's streaks of blood in her mucous. is it common for sinus infectoins for babies or could it be more serious and needs to be treated differently???

my son (7 months) had a really small drop of blood in his mucous when his pediatrician sucked out his snot w/ the aspirator. The dr said it was a sign of ear infection.

You have to keep in mind that the tissue inside the nose is very very sensitive, even when you're older, let alone when we're talking about a child. When I was a kid I used to have terrible nosebleeds for no reason at all, sometimes it was just enough to grab my nose a little bit stronger... not to mention an infection or a cold. What I'm trying to say is that it's quite possible that the blood was there because of the infection and the sucking procedure alone. As I've later found out, the blood vessels that are inside our noses are so small and sensitive that there are so many things that could cause them to break and most of them are just caused by irritation. So, I hope your kid is better now and that infections are in the past!
