Thank you!
One of my nostril produce green mucus and the other one is normal. Almost everyday for mounths now I have that production. I'm not someone that like to go to the doctor often , but should I consult about his issue?
Doctor I had a thread like tiny black mucus coming out of my throat early morning today I was Out yesterday for an outing is it normal to have such things I’m worried badly😭😭😭?and noted this same issues last week too
I’m diagnosing with acid reflux for past few months but now currently having chest pain
Stomach heat nausea
😭😭😭I’m truly scared pls clear me out this sit
I woke up this morning with very dark brown(almost black) mucus. I have been on vacation for 2 weeks and just came out of it 2 days ago. I don't think I have any other symptoms other than sneezing many times in a row.
Could be dust?
Why did my mucus start off clear then yellow, green now clear again? Also do the canadian wildfires have anything to do with this. I have asthma and hay fever allergies. Shoukd i go see a dr?
I recently got sick last Wed. Chills and then the congestion in my nose and head. I theorize that my water intake dropped with a combination of starting to use the train in NYC. I've been WFH for 5.5 months full time. Anyway, The mucus I saw in the tissue started off a thicker white. I drank water All Thursday and Friday. The mucus then became clear again. My water intake dropped on Saturday (yesterday 5/21/23) and now I'm blowing out green mucus. When I clear my throat brown is coming up.
I've been doing non stop steam to loosen the mucus in order to blow it out.
Am I on to something? I don't have a fever or anything and I rarely get sick. Maybe once a year and that's being generous. I'm also 36 w/ no history is chronic diseases/illnesses. No STDS and the only thing that runs through my family is breast cancer from my grandma.
Hallo Doctor,what is sindrom OZENA? Danke
I got light green/yellow phlegm which is stinging abit in nose and dry cough help pls
i think this is my first time searching an educational video 💀.
my snot becomes green when its a sign that im gonna have a cold 😭
i dont know why but when i was younger, this may sound disgusting but after i drank too, my snot would turn into this brown and yellow colour for a day and i dont know why 😭 the brown looked like the exact same colour as tea. it doesnt happen anymore tho 🙏🏻
I have a cold + cough and stuffy nose these past few days and I think I'm near at getting better but I seem to produce colorless bubbly phlegm/saliva and seem out of breath. What does this mean?
Is Myeloperoxidase that shifts colours from green to brown?
What about mucus you are coughing up? I have a super thick glue like consistency mucus that comes out in tiny chunks when I cough it's bright white sometimes a tinge of yellow lasting now 7 weeks
I’ve had this cronic type of cough i cough up thick green mucus and have shortness of breath and I’ve had this for like 7-8 years
I have the same problem for years , any solution ??
mine is clear but had like a tiny tiny bit of blue in it what could that be?
I have a sinus infection and I noticed it goes from a thick clear mucus to green and back to clear mucus. May I ask the reasoning? Thank you so much!
Great question, I would definitely need to see you as this could be allergic fungal sinusitis. This is something I treat regularly but I would need a consult to get an accurate picture. call my office and I can see you for an in-person or online consultation. (713) 791-0700 looking forward to speaking with you!
I have cough from 5 to 6 days and my throat secret yellow colour muscus my throat muscles also in pain.
So can you give me the solution about it
Antibodies being recruited to fight out infection in a specific part of my body, in addition to some of them dying while trying to help is probably why I feel like crap! My body is so tired and achy 🤕
Is there any diseases that exolainn my issues
So when I cough and some cold comes up.. there’s like brown stuff in it. Should I go to the docs or just take flu and cold medicine?
Same thing every motioning for the past two months did yours go away?
Can an infection cause thicker white mucus, meaning that can an infection be present without the yellow drainage ?
My own white n sme real bad in my nose
I have thick white mucus
My 5 year old has had constant mucus drainage that range from a clear to a thick green color for years now. Her pediatrician prescribed her allergy medication that they want her to take every day but I don't feel comfortable feeding her meds every day. We do the netty pot and constant blowing but I am at a loss with this nose situation. It may also be helpful to note that she was put on muprocin for a bacterial infection around her nose and mouth and has come back twice now. I assumed it was because she cant keep her finger out of her nose but is there some reason this keeps happening to her? (She has obstructive sleep apnea as well, not sure if that makes a difference but she was diagnosed a couple months ago)
I have the same problem. My 8 year old son has constant dripping nose, always mucus. Usually caused by bacteria. They give him antibiotics after a while bacteria comes back, also he has sleeping apnea. Like he always has runny nose, it's insane ! I don't know what to do anymore...
@@Sami-th9bx Take out all dairy, wheat and sugar out of the diet. Watch how fast it goes away for good. Good luck :)

I'm having difficulty of breathing, it feels like I couldn't get enough air to my lungs. Then, i experienced having green&yellow mucus, and now im having white but super thick. What is this?
Are you good now??? What was it
I get prone too serious cold just after one month what I should need to do sir
Great question and this is pretty common! I recommend taking my sinus quiz so I can get a more accurate look at what is going on! houstonadvancedsinus.com/sinus-quiz/
I'm coughing up clear phlegm with yellow specks. It's basically yellow mucus, but not a yellow clump. It's separate yellow bits in the clear.
Why is information on this subject and most medical subjects so contradictory?
You say seek medical advice if the colour persists, yet other professionals say it means your body is fighting infection or an illness is coming to an end…
I’ve just spent a week bed ridden with flu symptoms and clear mucus, but now I’m feeling better, my nose is randomly leaking large amounts of yellow/green mucus.
I just want to know if it’s safe to visit my newborn baby and I can’t find a straight answer 🤣
For real
yup i was not happy with his response. Did he say surgery...Big no no if he did. Anyway i was thinking years ago living on the farm. Us kids use to round around with green boogers hanging out of our noses. No antibiotics and i am sure as hell our bodies became stronger because we acquired our own immune defences. Green is good. It is our way of saying our bodies are fighting infection-whatever it is
Omg I’m doing the same thing!
whats about bloody mucus from the throat?
i don't think it's bad, but it seems weird and i never had it before.
My bronchitis seems to have cone back after like... a week or two (?) on antibitics, when the mucus from the cough turned black(!). Yes, you read that right, pitch black. Not brown or reddish, but pure black. The mucus I cough is now mainly thick and white but yellow and green in the morning.
Hi, I hope you are feeling better now.
First i want to preface this by saying I am not a doctor and this reply does not constitute medical advice. I am merely relaying my own experience with a similar situation.
First and foremost, I strongly suggest that you see a doctor because pitch-black mucus might be serious. My guess is there is some damage happening and bleeding as well.
Around 2 months ago, I started developing bronchitis symptoms which sound very similar to what you described:
Thick and white-clearish mostly, but the bronchitis would get worse at night but be minimal during the day.
I also used to wake up and cough yellow-green mucus but only a little and only right after waking up.
Like you, I also took antibiotics but after the second round, the symptoms were still there.
Eventually, I met a pulmonologist(Lung-specialist) and he ran some tests and concluded that it was actually allergies the whole time.
I got an inhaler and a pill(once every night) and the bronchitis was gone.
My best advice is for you to consult a specialist after your initial treatment fails because thats how I actually found out the real cause of my bronchitis.
I hope you feel better soon.
I used to think that green mucus is a sign of bacterial infection but it can actually show up for other reasons too.
Also, it felt at first like the antibiotics were helping but it turned out to be some combination of coincidence and placaebo effect. I have no idea what was actually going on.
Also reddish brown I also experiencing
How are you feeling now?
I have nasal polyps and recently messed with 1 of them to pull out because I couldn’t breathe 🧘 now I have slow blood drip in mucus but won’t stop bleeding 🩸 now 2 mos 😢did I rupture lining ?
Take a consult to your doctor it's not normal mine is brown mucus old blood because i am smoking marijuana always its my 9th day no sleep because of my body being used to marijuana now my brown thick mucus decreased because i stop it and will never comeback

Same. Did u ever figure out what it was?
Hi. You didn't suggest any natural antibiotics to take. Do Drs not get taught this in medical school? Antibiotics have side effects and I think should be used as a last resort.
Try lots of garlic and lemon

Color mucus: you are sick! NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!😒😒😒
If antibiotics or surgery is your options of fixing the mucus issue...we are in trouble because both options will mess you up!! 🙄
This is definitely not true. I am sorry your experiences have led you to believe that.
I was thinking the same in the UK there is no way our doctors would be prescribing antibiotics after a single week 🤣
