I have been sick for the past 4-6 weeks off and on with flu/cold symptoms and the last bout of it I felt horrible..........my head and ears were hurting very badly and my face had a lot of pressure pain. I started blowing out neon orange mucas and it was shocking to me..........kinda scared me.............I've had several sinus infections in the past and have never seen this color of mucus. I went to the doctor last week and was prescribed a strong antibiotic with astelin nasal spray for a severe sinus infection. This is now day 3 of antibiotics and I am feeling much better and the mucus is not nearly as orange as it was.......but still feeling some pressure on my ears. I really thought that my ears were infected not my sinuses........but the doc said ears were just a little inflammed due to the sinus infection. Hope this helps.

Well I currently have the orange discharge also. It went from clear to yellow to green to brown to orange. Very strange. A previous poster said that he had heard of divers with this problem. I used to be an avid diver but never had this exact problem.
I did however have a clogged sinus/sinus squeeze once that made a popping noise when I tried to blow my nose. At the popping noise it discharged about a half a cup of bright yellow liquid almost the color of egg drop soup ( not to gross anyone out).
To bad we havnt got a professional answer here.

This happened to me several years ago - I was sick for about 6 months with a chronic sinus infection/tonsillitis - so I decided to only drink water for three weeks, I smelt a strange smell all the time too. after about two weeks I started blowing out of my nose dark orange snot, soon I got better.

I had the same orange goo this am after bending over to try to puke.
I have had a cold for about a week. Then 2 nights ago, I got sucker punched and knocked out and fell backwards on concrete splitting my head open. I went to get checked and had a CT scan scheduled for next week to check for bleeding on the brain. Today the doctor called to see how I was doing, I said ok, been taking advil for the head pain. He said Do Not take advil which i had just taken about 3 minutes before. He also said to be sure to get the CT scan asap. So then i try to throw up the advil and immediately after comes this orange brown stuff out of my nose. Scared the c**p out me.
So I then decide to go immediately to the ER. They perform the catscan and no bleeding on the brain, thank god. He did say that I had a bad case of sinuitis and that is what the color was coming from. Prescribed me antibiotics and such so i should be ok. Should mention the previous doc also had me on antibiotics adn that i guess is why the orange goo appeared.

I had been sick for a week with a bad sore throat and nasal congestion. Finally got a Z-pack. The day before I got the antibiotic I had a weird sensation in my upper teeth, like the roots of my teeth were electrified if I shook my head or ran. Then my mucous was suddenly a pale orange color, like others have described as an orange juice color. I did have some blood in my mucous a few days prior to this. I went to the dentist and he did x-rays, but everything was OK. The roots of my teeth are in my Left sinus though, which explains that strange sensation. I have since finished the Z-pack , but continue to have orange mucous from the left side. Since yellow and red make orange, I figure it's a small amount of blood mixing with a slightly yellow to clear mucous. I hope it's not anything more serious than this!

I just blew my nose this evening and found bright orange mucus on the tissue boy was I alarmed. I'm guessing I have an ear infection of some kind but I have no pain in my ears yet. My hearing has been really bad for the past couple weeks and my ears "pop" with minor altitude change, blowing my nose, drinking and yawning. My ability to taste and smell has also been affected. This is the most bazar thing that has ever happened. When I first got my cold my sinuses were really bad so I am guessing this started as a virus but has worsened to a bacterial infection. Will go to the doctor tomorrow.

well, i have suffered sinus problems for years, and 3 days ago my upper left molar was hurting, i went to the dentist and he continued work on an existing root canal, and today, when i bent over, (3 times so far) this orangish thin watery liquid actually pours out that nostril.. and the pressure in my tooth/cheek bone is painful.. i'm hoping i don't have to go to the doctors.. i'm hoping it's just sinus problems brought on by the root canal.. but thankyou all, at least i know what this is, since others have similar symptoms..

Me too! teeth pain, orange and all. Recently played on the yard coming into contact with leaf mold. I'm in GA. Had the teeth thing as a teen so I knew it was sinus. Massaging from the cheekbone toward the nose helped, and inhaling brandy fumes clears it out I also take those emerg-en-c packets. As far as what it's color means, I don't know. Better out than in!

Omg this was the same thing with me. I had a pain behind my right eye. and massive headache and i touch my cheeckbone right under they eye and felt the pain. After two day s of that, i finally have no more headaches and coincidentally today while showering, all this yellow mucus gushed out like a lightly opened faucet...

Just now I'm going through this, I think. I'm only 15 so it shouldn't be anything too caused by old age or anything like that. I've just emptied like half a tissue box onto the floor with mucus. I blow my nose, then after like three seconds it's full again. Another blow fills the tissue and it fills up again etc etc. I've got a tissue lodged up there for now and it has slowed down a bit, before I placed it in.
Okay, doesn't look as yellow now (as compared to before's lemony yellow) but still, it doesn't feel or look right.
Nose hurts from rubbing too, but that's self inflicted : P
And the left passage is perfectly fine right now, and when I did blow it, only clear mucus was excreted.

Orange mucus is definitely the symptom of a sinus infection. I have it and have suffered it on and off for 15 years. I lose smell,taste and general energy but don't suffer pain. It is a horrible (and underrated) condition to suffer and can affect your general well-being quite severely. For me it is always orange. If it is green or any other colour it is a sign of hope for me. As soon as it recurs and I see it begin to turn orange, I know the infection has returned.

I developed a severe sinus infection after I blew my nose and this mass of bright orange mucus came out. The whole right side of my face hurt like I had a terrible toothache, my right eye hurt and started to water. I felt terrible. My wife suggested that I use a Niti Pot with saline warm water and irrigate my sinuses. After five minutes the mucus became clear and all of my pain disappeared. Thanks to the Niti Pot.

I have been experiencing something very similar over the past few days and was looking for an answer to what it is. my mucus is very thin and yellow/orange. it looks like hi-lighter fluid. when it first happened i blew my nose and my ear popped at the same time... could it be related to the ear?
i also feel like my stool is softer lately but that could be something totally different
Other than these symptoms, i feel totally healthy and my nasal passages are clear. whats goin on?
