so, just a week ago my i had a 101 deg. tempature. but in 2 days, it was gone.
From last summer my doctor said i had postnasal drip and gave me nasonex to
help it. Right now, my throat hurts and when I spit, weird orange stuff comes
out. aslo, that is how my throat becomes more relaxed, so every 3 hours i
have to spit. is this caused by postnasal drip? Or is it some other disease
that i need different medical care for?

It sounds like a side effect of the Nasonex. Blood tinged mucus is
one, as is sort throat.

Yes the original poster should not go overboard on the Nasonex and aim a bit
outward. He may be spraying it right at a turbibate or the septum.

If bleeding continues, discontinue use until he sees a doctor.

He can try irrigation (see the FAQ) to clean out his nose and sinuses.

I use warm salt water to gargle when my throat feels like that from post
nasal. Especially in the morning when I get up.

Use this rinse for a couple of days, morning and at night before going
to bed.
My MD told me to do this, as I have been to his office so many times
with a sore throat when I did not have one.

If that stuff is of a strange bright "Day-Glo" color, it could indicate
a bacterial sinus infection.

Wait a week or two more, and see if your condition improves. If not,
then that suggests you have a bacterial sinus infection and you will
need antibiotics.
