Avatar n tn Barbara533 Have you tried an antihistamine? rushtyyyyy green and yellow flem should not be coming up from allergy unless it is stomach acid. Usually allergy is clear mucus. I'm not a doctor but I wonder if it is a bacteria infection. Sorry I don't know the correct answer. Maybe the doctors are correct too. I just personally haven't heard of colored mucus from allergy. Allergy can cause mucus that can lead to bacteria infection too. See another doctor.
Avatar f tn I have been getting over a recent bout of bronchitis where I was prescribed Augmentin (I am on Day 6) and Prednisone short burst (finished 2 days ago) I am still coughing quite bad but the fever has broke... but as of yesterday the phlegm/mucus I am coughing up tastes extremely salty. I have not been using any type of saline spray, or gargling with salt water, so I know this is not the reason. Is it the antibiotics causing this? Or is there another reason?
Avatar n tn For the past 4 years I have been coughing up clear jelly like Mucus Balls. I have been a smoker for 8 years, and I have Asthma. I wake up in the morning and in the middle of the night coughing up a lot of the little mucus balls. It happens a little bit through out the day. Sometimes they are balls and sometimes they are like a hair, but made of mucus. I am very scared and do not have health insurance. I am 25, and thought I was pretty healthy. Please someone, HELP!
Avatar f tn She was on antibiotics and was doing good for the last week now but yesterday she started coughing again and has been having about 4-5 watery stools a day. They started greenish yellow and mucousy and now they are milky white/light tan. Also, im not sure if its because shes cold or not but i've noticed this morning that her lips will turn blue, and then go back to pink a minute later,. She seems to be breathing fine, and is not coughing when it happens but im worried.
Avatar f tn Every morning for 3 months, I've to cough up yellow phlegm. I cough very little during the day, but a bit more in the evening. I've had a dry cough for a year before that. I really concerned. A flu or something would go away in 3 weeks. I'm not feeling ill, just coughing. Went to my GP and got trsted for different bacteria and got a chest x-ray. All was normal. So what is it? Going to see my GP again next week, but i really bothers me.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn It may be a virus but usually if you cough up green or yellow mucus it could be a bacterial infection. Do you have a fever? Is it a loose cough?
Avatar n tn Starting from 02/23/2008 (the 37th day after last exposure), I started coughing with productive thick dark yellow mucus, runny nose, sore throat. However there was no fever until 03/02 (the 44th day after last exposure). Here are the descriptions of my symptions: Day 1 ~ day 8: productive coughing, thick dark yellow mucus, runny nose, sore throat (No fever) Day 9: fever with 102.8F maximum.
Avatar n tn Ive been coughing and spitting out yellow to green mucus for 7 days now what should I do ?is this a normal cold ?
Avatar n tn I let mine go way too long and it turned out to be pneumonia. As my doctor sayed, "you're one sick puppy". I'm in so much pain now and keep telling people to get IN to the doctor. I was waiting to have my insurance start and so I had something of an excuse yet now I'm homebound and if I don't rest I'll end up in the hospital. Don't let it get like this and especially not if you're pregnant.
Avatar f tn What started as a sore throat has affected my lungs, difficulty breathing,(mainly exhaling)(raspy sound in throat when exhaling) coughing up rust, white and yellow mucus. I start to feel better, and then bam it gets worse. now it feels like there is gross mucus trapped in my lungs, & i dont know how to get it out. Sometimes after i cough, the phlegm is so bad it makes me sick to my stomach. I dont want to go to Dr. to be told its just a virus.
Avatar f tn I have been coughing up yellow and green mucus. I have a soar throat and I have lost my voice, it is very hoarse to the point that I can barely talk. I am sneezing and blowing out mucus and sometimes it is difficult to bring up and causes me to gag. I have trouble sleeping as well.
Avatar m tn My symptoms started a month ago when i had a fever, throat pain, coughing up yellow mucus and a runny nose, so i decided to visit my doctor which prescribed Klacid 500 mg (Clarithromycin), which i took and after a few days the runny nose stopped and my throat no longer hurt, however, i was still caughing, which a follow-up to my doctor gave me Valdocef (Cefadroxil) which i also took but the cough remained.
Avatar m tn Then about a couple of days ago, I had that tickle cough, but like a coughing attack episode. And It would be extreme thick clear sticky mucus, to the point of throwing up. The sore throat is on and off, but I think the slight pain in throat is from hacking up, so its inflamed, and so forth.
Avatar f tn After coughing at times, I have had some small amounts of stringy mucus (sometimes like egg whites). Tonight, I had a very small clump in my underwear, tinged slight yellow. Can coughing cause preterm labor or dislodge the mucus plug? I have had three children, all full-term, no problems with preterm labor. I think that I have had this mucus mixed with leukorrhea much of the pregnancy but can't remember! Could it be just the increased mucus production (like in my sinuses too)?
18650400 tn?1466627609 for the past week and a couple of days i have been coughing very very badly, and also wheezing, most of the time when i cough i cough up mucus that looks like a dark yellow and my chest hurts bad when i cough. 2 days ago i began to throw up, i have not been able to hold down any solid foods i can only drink liquids. i know if this persists i will have to go to the doctors office, however if i can avoid that will be a plus. please help me.
Avatar m tn The cough has changed a lot since it started, and now It seems to be entirely due to to mucus build up around my lungs. The cough is stronger before I sleep through when I wake up or when it wakes me up (when it is the worst). At times, the mucus coughed out is either thick and yellow (but not much is coughed out) or it is clear and runny but is coughed out in half a mouthfuls. So far there is no blood in it.
Avatar n tn Nine months after recovering from terrible acute bronchitis, I am still coughing up small blobs of thick sticky, pale yellow mucus all day. My allergist says my asthma is under control, my sinuses are more or less clear, and I recently went to the cardiologist for a full workup. All that's left is GERD, but I'm unsure how to proceed because I hardly have any other symptoms.
Avatar m tn My issue now is the stool is still mushy, which I am not too worried about but the stool is more of a lighter brown colour and it is yellow on the toilet paper. I have been passing mucus with it as well but that isn't uncommon with my IBS, I may have noiced once or twice very small clear gel like chunks on the toilet paper as well, I'm not sure if this is just mucus.
Avatar m tn But a few days(about 7 days) later i had flu with a lot of yellow mucus. Before we had sex she told me she had sinus. The flu lasted about 10 days but today i constantly have a a light sore throat light headaches and constantly clearing my throat, a little bit of coughing. The real problem is she just told me she found out she is HIV positive. Now i am scared. Could i have contracted HIV from the the fact that the condom kind of slipped off. Only the head was covered.
Avatar f tn Only every now and them I feel like I have mucus so when I cough a little bit of mucus and blood comes up and my throat burns for a bit. Did I cut my throat and just not realize it or is it something else?
Avatar f tn I cough up yellow mucus all the time and i wake up in the morning and my sinus is always blocked up. I have had this for about seven months. It recently started getting worse with a sore throat but i'm not sure if it is the flu or the infection. Should I go to the doctor? I went to the doctor a while ago and got antibiotics but it didn't help so I am wondering if i should go back to the doctor. Is it normal for people with asthma to have so much mucus that is yellow all the time?
Avatar n tn About a month or two ago I was sick, I had a fever and was coughing up very yellow mucus. Sometimes with much nastier substances captured inside. Now I just can't breath without coughing or wheezing and I can hear my lungs rattling when I do. No mucus at all. I've had allergies my whole life. But it's only been affecting this past year or so. I've had very short episodes like this before, but this has lasted over a month.
Avatar n tn Do you mean your coughing up white flem? Usually if the flem is white there is no infection. Have you taken any Meds for your cough?
