Anyone who has ever experienced a sinus infection knows that it is one of the most uncomfortable feelings anyone can experience.

It isn’t exactly dangerous or life-threatening in any way, but in terms of pure discomfort, a sinus infection is about as bad as it can get without reaching over into the category of becoming painful.

When you get a sinus infection, instinct will tell you to relieve the pressure in any way possible, but what one man recently did is something that most doctors wouldn’t recommend. The man had a horrible sinus infection that was bothering him to no end.

He tried using over-the-counter medicine, but that did nothing for him. As a last ditch effort, he decided to pack his nose with cotton, but even that didn’t work to remove the pressure. Having no other options, the man finally sought the help of a doctor.

The doctor did a quick inspection and confirmed there was an issue, then she attempted to pull the cotton out of the man’s nose.

What happened next was quite disturbing to both the man and the doctor.

She warned him to brace himself as she removed the wad of cotton, and while he could physically prepare himself, there wasn’t much either of them could do to mentally prepare for what they were about to see.

When the doctor removed the cotton, it was completely covered in what could only be described as blood and mucus.

The mass was so large that even the doctor claimed she might vomit from the experience.
