Common Questions and Answers about Coughing green mucus in morning

coughing

I am aware that HIV is not mucus producing (so they say) but I've been waking with green mucus every morning when I cough up. I feel fine apart from this and get through my day. Sure enough I get it in the morning again and again. It's a little worrying and I'm not sure what to do about it?

Every morning I cough up this thick hard green musus. I do get sinus infection alot and I had my tonsil and sinus surgery in 2006. What do you think my problem is?

For months at a time I get a little bit of morning mucus thats green or yellow in my morning cough. I have no fever, no major coughing, no serious shortness of breath. I feel bad...but I always feel bad due to fibromyalgia/disc/migraine problems. I do have allergies/asthma thats being treated - I take Singulair 10mg plus I have a rescue inhaler should the allergies get real bad. My last chest x ray was 2 yrs ago (at the hosp. for unrelated issues) and showed some scattered granulomas.

I was smoking it regularly, sometimes very heavily for about 7 months. Last week I started coughing up green thick mucus, and a couple of times there was a small amount of red blood present in clear mucus. I have a terrible cough, that is sometimes accompanied with dizziness. I am not sure if I have a fever(no thermometer)and sometimes feel a little sick to my stomach. I have slight chest pain, described best as a tightness. At night, the tightness gets pretty uncomfortable.

The loogies you are caughing up could be a sign of LRTI, commonly caused by bacterium. Ensure that you do not suppress a cough with green/yellow loogies as this generally carries bacteria. Instead cough away and get it out. The fever is the sign of virus so could just be a bad cold. Either way, suck it up and wait it out. If symptoms persist for more than a week, see your doctor again, as antibiotics may be of benefit but not always.

Lately, the past week or so, my nose has gotten alot worse, and when i blow my nose when i have a headache, i get severly green mucus, and a bloody nose. The bloody nose worries me most, it is worse than when some one gets a broken nose, because it just flows and flows, but after it stops, i dont have a headache anymore, and the pressure in my sinuses are gone. Am i dying lol? If not, what should i do?

Ever since that day I have been literally hacking (more like a cat with a hairball.NOT a cough) up THICK mucus.Sometimes it is clear,sometimes yellow and there are even times it has come out green or with brown chunks in it. The only way I can get rid of this mucus is by doing this HORRIBLE hacking and expelling it from my throat! I have tried antibiotics and expectorants.The antibiotics didn't help AT ALL and the expectorants don't solve the problem.

I also have post-nasal drip, so it was a combination of things that was causing the cough, but once I got those things treated, the cough and the mucus went away.

I do feel like I have some mucus I want to cough up after coughing. At times, a cold or warm drink seems to bring it on or just walking into air conditioning. My right nostril seems clear, a little congestion in the left. Any thoughts?

i can taste infection when i swallow and i keep coughing up mucus that has blood in it, what does blood in my mucus mean?

I don't have a runny nose or cough. The mucus seems to be coming up my throat quite regularly throughout the day, leaving me with a horrible taste in my mouth. If i do happen to blow my nose, i am left with a disgusting smell in my nostrils and in the tissue of course. Is this a sinus infection?

MY DAUGHTER IS 2 YEARS OLD AND STARTED 3 DAYS AGO WITH A RUNNY NOSE WITH CLEAR MUCUS AND FEVER. TODAY SHE NOW HAS A RUNNY NOSE WITH GREEN MUCUS AND FEVER OF 102.3 AND SHE HAS A COUGH TO WHERE IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S GOING TO VOMIT. SHE HAS CHILLS AND WANTS TO SLEEP ALOT AND HER BREATHING SOUNDS KINDA SHORT. SHE WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH EYES CAKED SHUT WITH MUCUS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM HER TEAR DUCTS AND IS THICK GREEN.

I was suffering from thick mucus which was hard to cough up. So I started taking a natural mucolytic (mucus thinner). I take vitamin B5 and it works like a charm. The usual dose would be 500 mg or 1000 mg daily. There are no side effects. The question is whether what you have is mucus or something else. Anyway vitamin B5 is harmless. If it works it will melt the "stones.

I've been suffering for about a week but several months ago it was for almost an entire month Wake up inthe morning coughing up yellow / green mucus and then it goes clear but it's constant and so sticky - it won't even easily wash off the sides of the basin. Last time I used to wake up inthe middle of the night choking - really horrid problem and the lack f sleep only makes things worse.

I've also coughed up some quite thick green sputum for the first time this morning. Sometimes the cough will appear to be getting better, but it will then come back with full force. I've been to the doctor several times about this and as yet he has asked no questions regarding family history, or if I smoke etc. He seems convinced it is just anxiety. I'm also been suffering from muscle twitching for around the same amount of time. He has listened to my chest and says it sounds OK.

The coughing sessions go on for up to 2 hrs' at a time I can't believe how much white sticky mucus comes out. It is rarely yellow or green, although in the beginning of this mess it was. I rarely get anything out of my nose. I do use the Neil med rinses and when I use my albuteral for the asthma I can get a lot more mucus out. My head is like a sore ballon in the morning and I hate to even get out of bed because I know whats ahead for me ..all that coughing is hard on me.

Coughing up clear phlyem at night inthe morning throughout the day is my symptoms. It started about four weeks ago and there was green phlyem but has now beem replaced with clear. Anybody got any hints of what I have?

In reference to a post comment i saw earlier, I am having nose bleed in the morning, When I spit, I get traces of blood in the sputum. Firstly, this doesnt happen everyday, Next it has been going on for several months and it is getting worst. So i went to a ENT doctor. He said if was a simple sinus infection, this doctor hastly take a look at me and said it was a small problem!! entire process took less than 2mins?, He prescrip me some medication which i dont know what's it about.

If you don't have white spots in your throat (indicating strep) or yellow or green mucus, I would say it's just a common cold. I always feel worse in the morning and at night in terms of my allergies or when I'm sick.

In the morning I wake up and cough up thick balls of green mucus sometimes laced with blood. However, I am prone to mild blood coming from my nose as a result of the dryness, so I'm assuming the blood just comes from my nose. However, during the day I have problems with mucus causing me to cough and sometimes choke. It is usually excessive and difficult to cough up. It doesn't really get in the way of anything, its more just a pain and a worry.

Following up with an ENT and her Cardiologist would be my next choice. Sometimes post-nasal drip will be suspect because one will cough up yellow and green mucus in the mornings, and it becomes clear throughout the day. Viral Bronchitis is another thing to consider. Coughing from bronchitis brings up the green or yellow phlegm which is the lining of the trachea (windpipe) damaged by the viral infection as new mucosa replaces it, and is much more pronounced in the morning.

I have been to my doctor and have been given antibiotics and they appear to have stopped the blood and the green and brown stuff but not the cough. This cough has been going on for years and sometimes I cough out and I cough out and I cough out and out and out and cannot get any air in cos I am coughing out so much I think I am going to pass out???

Since meeting with my doctor about 3 weeks ago, I was able to spit up phlegm and sometimes release mucus from my nose. In both cases, mucus showed up as brownish yellow pieces.. one day I even coughed up a hard, pebble-sized piece of mucus that was fleshy in colour. 2 days ago, experienced throat pain when swallowed.. next day - classic flu symptoms: sweats, weakness, body aches, throbbing headache and excessive mucus secretion from sinuses, sinus pain and congestion.

Anywase as that started to go I started coughing and one night I coughed half the night,, As the heavy coughing started going away I now for the past 2 1/2 days have cough every once and awhile with a bit of green flem (worst in morning) and this A.M. I had a bit of blood in two of the coughs, A bit being less then a half a tea spoon. One looked kinda dryed and string like and the other looked a bit fresh like a dot.

I'm travelling to attend a funeral and called my doctor's office three states away and asked for a prescription because I had coughed up some very green mucus, which I believed indicated a bacterial infection. They gave me some amoxicillian 500 mg 3x a day for 7 days. I also started taking mucinex morning and night. The stuff I'm coughing up has gone to yellow instead of green, so I'm assuming that means it's working to clear up the infection.

After a few weeks, it progressed to mucus that I would cough up a few hours after I woke up in the morning, and it has followed this cycle pretty much ever since. Here is my daily ritual: I wake up, feeling great. Lungs feel perfectly clear. About 1-2 hours later, I start to get a little tickle in my lungs and start to cough a bit. Within about 30 minutes, I really feel the thick mucus breaking up and cough out thick, sticky, green and yellow mucus that is deep down in my lungs.

I don't have a flu, I believe I have a mild fever. I have no sore throat, It started as a light cough with no mucus or flem. Just a dry cough. It has now progressed to a strong cough with some flem. Still no fever but gaining slight headache when coughing. I have been drinking tea, I have been trying to rest more, I am taking Vicks Cold/Flu Relief. It helps with the headaches but it doesn't seem to supress my cough in the slightest. Cough drops down seem to lessen my cough either.

It lasted about two days. Ever since I have had problems breathing and have been coughing up mucus or blowing my nose a lot. A couple days ago, the mucus began to have a real strong foul odor, and a very bad taste if I coughed it up. I also have some slight chest pains, back pain, neck pain and some morning headaches (I never have headaches). I thought some of this could be caused from all the coughing, spitting and blowing my nose.

I know it was coming from my nose because I actual snorted it down. This lasted for about three days. Then I got this cough, but the mucus kept coming from my nose. Nothing was coming up from my chest. Around the same time I developed an MRSA infection on my arm which I started treatment for. A couple days later with no resolution of the mucus and no productive cough I went to the ER.

hi,littlevicko again,you could have gerd,you would never think it would cause chronic coughing but that and sinus disease and esophoglis made my daughter have a chronic cough with excessive phlgm,she stayed in the hosital 2 weeks and thats what they found,she may have to have sinus surgery to flush the sinuses out but s far she is alot better after being sick for months-all these conditions made her airways swell and irritated,they did a lung scope and didnt find anything but when you cough so l
