Coughing up green mucus symptoms

Common Questions and Answers about Coughing up green mucus symptoms

coughing

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 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.

i started getting a sore throat and then stuffy nose, cough you know the drill, then about week after that i got diarrhoea which lasted for 4 days. After that i started getting joint pain and consist coughing up mucus. Ive also had slightly swollen lymph nodes but non tender and i dont know if it was just anxiety driven. Also been itchy all over but also unknown if anxiety driven. I told my partnee to get tested and he said he came back negative, i didnt get tested.

On Tuesday I felt better but had a doctors appointment he said it was a common cold virus because I was now coughing up alot of loogies that where yellow. But now if I breath in really deep I cough 3 times or so, then today I got a fever of 101 took some mortin and it went away. So basically I'm coughing alot and there's a little bit of mucus everytime. Does anyone have an idea what it might be?

It feels like all of my air passages become blocked with mucus and I have trouble breathing. Sometimes the coughing is so severe I end up vomiting or I often gag almost to the point of vomiting (It's very exhausting.) It doesn't seem to matter what I eat, and it happens pretty much after every meal.

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 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 have the same symptom's I wake up and because my mucus is so sticky and deep in my lungs I have to trigger my gag reflex to get it out but when you do that, all nutrition goes down the drain to. My body wieght is that of when I was A teenager and dropping every day. Unfortunatly I am and still am a smoker and a drinker to moderation. All of my family history has the word cancer in it and I have spent the last 20 years in emergency services so I have seen and been in some stuff!!!!!!

I felt like I was going to vomit but I sort of just couged up thick spit or clear mucus, not sure which but there were these blue/green specks or dots all of the tissue. In the process, I threw up just a little of what I had for supper but the specks were all over the tissue. I thought I could see the pattern through my spit up but realized my tissue has no pattern? Anyone else ever seen this? I'm not really sick.

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.

Postnasal drip, along with gastroesophageal reflux and asthma is one of the 3 leading causes of chronic cough. In most of these cases, however, the mucus is clear or faint yellow, not green. The cough and sputum could also be coming from your lungs and that possibility is not ruled-out by your doctor's listening to your lungs and hearing clear breath sounds.

I realize coughing up yellowish-green or green mucus is normal when you have bronchitis, but what about bright, lemon yellow colored mucus? What is it? What caused it? How do I get rid of it? Should I be worried? (Have had typical bronchitis symptoms for aprox. 3 weeks...cough, chest congestion, runny/congested nose, lots of phlem, lose of voice, raspy voice, deep chest cough, fever (first week), trouble sleeping because it feels like someone is sitting on my chest when I lay down...

Coughing up green phlegm is, with rare exceptions, not something that occurs with asthma. When it occurs with hard cylindrical mucus plugs, it may be a sign of an allergic fungal disease that occurs commonly with asthma. But, what you describe is almost certainly a sign of serious lung infection, bronchitis or pneumonia. Most worrisome is the breathlessness from simply turning in bed that could be due to pneumonia or drastic worsening of your asthma due to infection.

Stop taking the colloidal silver even though the cough may still be there and you may be coughing up clear mucus. Again, pneumonia is there when the infection is there. I've had aspiration pneumonia 5 times so I know. You also need to get on a probiotic. I recommend Dr. Ohhira's probiotic because antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the body and you'll experience yeast infection and many other illnesses. You have to know what questions to ask because doctors don't volunteer this info.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that when I was pregnant which I have been 3 times I started losing my mucus plug about the same time you did...it was green! Not neon or dark or anything, but light like the mucus you may cough up out of your throat. It's nothing to wory about the doctors will tell you the same thing unless its neon or like a very dark green.

Also the past couple of times i've been to the doctors i have had high blood pressure and a fast heart rate. Recently, I started having a really bad cough and chest pain with blood in my phlegm and green mucus. I went to my doctor and he said i had bronchitis and wrote me three prescriptions an antibiotic, cough syrup, last was for inflammation. He told me i should be fine in a couple days to take it easy and drink lots of fluids.

I use saline 3 times a day to dehydrate it and I inhale on viks to relieve the pressure i am experiencing. An extra worry is that my mucus is thick and yellow/green. In the past days (and usually when i get a cold), it was watery and transparent/whitish. I called my doctor and he said that it might be indicative of a secondary infection like a sinus infection. He told me to give it another 48 hours and if it doesn't get better, i should go and get checked.

I run cross country, track and even play soccer for my high school. But ive been noticing very once in awhile when i cough up a lot of snot, sometimes there is grayish specks in it. The rest of the snot is clear though, except for the gray specks. It freaked me out of course, partially because ive always been some what of a hypochondriac,but also because i didnt think mucus was supposed to be any other color except clear or green. Could this be something bad?

over the past few weeks I've been coughing up a lot of phlegm which is multi-coloured (clear, yellow, orange and green) and I went to see my doctor who diagnosed me with bronchitis, and prescribed me anti-biotics, which it turns out I'm allergic to, so I've stopped them. the phlegm occasionally contains streaks of blood through it, varying in quantity from the tiniest speck to quite thick streaks. I'm an 18 year old smoker by the way.

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?

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.

When the nose is too dry, it doesn't humidify the air sufficiently, then as it moves along it drys and thickens mucus further down. Eating stimulates saliva flow which starts to loosen the thick mucus and you end up with a cough. In my own case it's often a deep choking cough. It can help to drink some water about 15min or so before eating. Flushing the nose with saline solution beforehand can help as well.

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. It normally takes me about 2 hours to get it all out. After that, I feel pretty good for the rest of the day. No coughing. I feel pretty normal. I sleep fine, then wake up the next day and it starts over again. My sinuses are clear. No postnasal drip. I have tried numerous antibiotics (Azithromycin, Biaxin, Augmentin. Did a medrol dose pack.

after concentrating on trying to get it out of my throat i can eventually work it out and spit it up, deep breaths from my nose and then out my mouth help to get it up. It is the size of a pea, is green and sumtimes has bits of yellow and small bits of blood in it. Its a hard little lump but the inside is still squishy it has no smell. when i eventually spit it up my throat feels better and doesn't burn as much but this is annoying because i go thru this everyday, its GROSS! please help!
