Blood streaks when sneezing
I am 21 years old, and when I sneezed there are blood streaks in the mucus(?). But I do not have cough. I’ve just came home from UK, and wondering if this is a covid 19 symptom and should be tested immediately?

Thank you for the question. For your information, blood streak in the mucus when sneezing could be due to:
- Injury inside the nasal area due to digital trauma (nose picking)
- Area inside the nasal is too dry
- Infection
- Allergic and non allergic rhinitis
According to WHO, the common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are:
- Fever (more than 37.5 degrees celcius)
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Aches and pains
- Sorethroat
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
