I've been noticing some small streaks of blood mixed with mucus whenever I suck out the mucus from my nose for the past three weeks, and now my cold has gotten much lighter. Should I be worried about the blood? What might be causing this?

I've been taking Susten 200 once a day as advised, but I've started feeling dizzy after taking it. Now I'm also experiencing chills and a really bad cough and cold. I'm almost done with the course, just have two tablets left. How long do these side effects usually last, and is there anything I should do to feel better?

Dizziness is the most common side effect of progesterone pills,no need to worry you can continue the medicine and if the symptoms are bothering you much visit your Gynaecologist for alternate medicine.
