I got common cold and mucus is pouring from my nose like a fountain, the basket was nearly empty this morning. In the last tissues there was blood. Is this dangerous?

No. It's probably just all the blowing putting pressure on the little blood vessels in there.

Sometimes you can get blood from a sinus infection, but I wouldn't think that from the way you described it. Even if it is, it's not like sinus infections are a big deal.

If you're getting drainage, just wipe out out; blowing is usually counterproductive.

What I've learned to do is sniffle more than blow, because blowing too hard does damage and can also cause a sinus infection. And as you may know, blowing is a futile endeavor. You'll always have more mucus waiting to clog you back up.
