Okay, so, I decided to leave this out of the Ask and answer stupid questions thread despite asking the internet for medical advice being the secondest stupidest type of question, the most stupid being "will you marry me?" + Show Spoiler +
So, heres my time line
Day 1. Got sick, started off with insanely bad congestion, tons of mucus, relatively yellow, kind of runny and kind of thick.
Day 2. Horrible coughing fits start, wet cough, coughing up lots of the gross stuff. Still yellow. Headaches due to sinus congestion. Everything seems relatively standard for illness.
Day 3. Coughing fits continue. Same as it was. Voice just dies brutally, like someone paved a gravel road through my throat, almost impossible to speak. Congestion headache lessened. Mucus greener now.
Day 4. Coughing fits begin to get harsher and dryer, voice is like halfway to normal (so a TON better.) Mucus green now.
Day 5. Voice is okay. Coughing fits still hit, pretty shitty, makes it hard to do much, most any mouth breathing causes coughing and a lot of nose breathing causes coughing. Mucus harder/chunkier and pretty green by now. Brutal nosebleed, continued harshly for 20 minutes, trickled for another hour or so after that. Happened again around 9 hours after the initial bleed, blood much more watery. Happened out of just absolutely nowhere.
Day 6. Coughing lessened but still there. Feel generally better really.
Day 7. Feel better, cough like 95% gone. Nosebleed happens after work, pretty short one, pretty watery blood. Happened randomly and unprovoked halfway through my walk home.
Day 8. ThE FUtURE!!1
So, whats up, help me out here, I feel like I should be scared. Should I be scared? Am I dying? Am I gonna die? Is my life ending? Am I being a huge baby about this and its just like, acute bronchitis?
Be my doctor, TL! I can't afford one, so you're probably the same thing, right? Like generic brand cola?
I sometimes get a nosebleed when i have flu, because the nose is very runny, and I have to wipe it with toilet paper many times, so i scrape the skin a lot and it becomes irritated. Then if i tense up and blow, a capilary ruptures because of the pressure and all the scraping (even though its just soft toilet paper).
So the blood isnt anything serious. Just gotta make sure its from your nose nd not sinuses xD
