Throat infection green phlegm
Common Questions and Answers about Throat infection green phlegm
throat
Usually, if it's green it's an infection. Yellow can also be an infection, but usually you can still fight it off without an antibiotic if it's yellow. Green is a more advanced infection. You should see your doctor and get an antibiotic. If it were from COPD or CHF it would be clear or white.
Hi, if your phlegm is green in colour it may be that you have an infection and sometimes with an infection there can be small amounts of blood and you should then see your doctor to perhaps get an antibiotic. If the phlegm is not green as long as it is not large amounts of blood then as jaja says it may be due to excessive coughing.
Again i am not a doctor but i do work in the field of respiratory medicine. if you are concerned then speak to your doctor.
I take tylenols to ease away my headache. I also had some dark green phlegm that I spit out when I wake up and sore throat too.
I asked a doctor about it and she told me to take ambroxol (mucolytic) and some loratadine. She told me that I may be having some allergy attack. I finished taking the dosage and I felt a little better but I still have the same symptoms.
Here are what I'm feeling the past week, I hope someone will take time to explain to me what possibly I have.
Within two days both of those were replaced with chest congestion, tightness, and a wet cough producing green phlegm. Now its been about 5 days of wheezing and this cough i can feel the congestion deep down in my lungs. When i breathe i can feel the phlegm and mucus and i wheeze when i exhale. It is usually worse at night before i go to sleep. Im not quite sure If i should go see my doctor.
I have been exposed to airborne asbestos for 7 hours at a building site. I use an inhaler to reduce inflammation. When I stop using it my lungs get in flamed and I usually cough up a long fibre as if its in my long and been striped off. The sensation is sore. When I go back to inhaler my lungs get up green phlegm. I d'ont understand all this~~? Can green phlegm remove asbestos fibres from lung or is it just white phlegm.
I always awake with layers or lumps of green nose dirt (mucus ?) in my nose. Also I have a frequent need to clear my throat and I cough up phlegm which is often green. I have thought it was associated with a cold but it has been there now for months or even years and I do not think I have a cold. Or is it possible to have cold symptoms which linger for months? Can I do anything to help this condition ?
Thanks for your help.
What color is the phlegm you are coughing up? Green is infection. White or clear would not be infection. It could be allergies. Do you have trouble swallowing food and is food getting stuck? If so, it could be something more serious like a tumor. It also could be your thyroid. I would get a second opionion.
The sore throat subsided significantly and is immediately relieved (usually in the morning) after coughing up green / yellow phlegm congestion. On Day 3 now, sore throat is almost non-existent except mild upon waking in the morning and then gone for the rest of the day after coughing up congestion / phlegm first thing in the morning. Tested negative for COVID and Flu on Day 2. Started 5-day, Z-Pac antibiotics on Day 2.
I have never spent any time clearing my throat before and I still don't do it a lot or do it compulsively. I do it in the morning because the mucus builds up in my sleep. And then one or two more times a day. And stuff does come out. And it's wads of green phlegm. Isn't the first possibility ruled out because of that? I'm not mistaken green phlegm mean I have some kind of bacterial infection or immune response.
But about 2 weeks ago i started getting a scratchy throat, it doesnt hurt when i swallow, i dont have a fever, and its on and off, typically worse at night, and in the mornings. I also cough up green phlegm, which in my understanding is a infection of some kind. Well this morning while driving to work, i got a bad cough, and vomiting. Thosr are the only symptoms, its better now, but i know it will pick up again soon. I need to know what it may be, some insight would help.
Somewhat of a white coating appeared in the back of my tongue, as well as raised bumps in that area. I was also coughing and it was green phlegm. Whenever I blew my nose, it would also be green. I asked him if he could possibly have an STD and he said he was clean. I still freaked out and immediately ordered an STD test bundle. I went ahead and got tested a week and three days after the encounter. I also went to the doctor that same day.
Throughout the day, when I blow my nose, there will be occasional green mucous too. But phlegm that I cough out is colourless. My throat is only very slightly sore occasionally. In addition, the white in my eyes have red spidery streaks ever since, and I have eye discharge when I wake up in the morning. I am very troubled. Is this serious? Thanks for your patience with my long message.
The first day it was a sore throat and coughing and hacking up green phlegm in small amounts, sometimes it had blood in it when it came from the top of my throat. I had a slight fever of 99.7. It may have been a little higher, but never over 100. My nick was also very stiff the first day. One the second day, my throat was still sore and coughing up green phlegm, but the stiffness and temperature were gone.
3 days later I started getting a sore throat a day after that, congested nose and ears, and a very annoying cough with green phlegm. This has been going on for almost two weeks now. I am confused because online has almost every symptom known to man as early infection signs of HIV. Is it? Can it be something else? I am getting tested soon (it was just two weeks ago) but I'm alittle paranoid.
Dazed and confused.
This time the soreness persisted the whole entire day. I went to bed last night with a lot of phlegm in my throat and woke up this morning with a lot of soreness and phlegm once again. I tried to hack up the phlegm. Most of it was clear or yellow. Then I managed to get a real good one... I hacked up a real thick sample that was directly from my throat, and spit it out onto a tissue. I noticed a streak of blood on the tissue mixed with yellow phlegm.
About two days ago I came down with a throat infection and completely lost my voice, this was followed by some sort of chest infection. I've already had one this year and had about two last year, so I know what they're like. But this one is slightly different, I never normally cough loads with chest infections, but when I have sometimes my phlegm would be slightly brown this time, or be a green colour with a little streak of blood in it, not just the normal green that I'm used to.
Hello, everyone! Two days ago, I had a TERRIBLE sore throat. Went to the doctor to get swabbed, did not come back for strep. No fever, but I felt sweaty at night (I think it was due to bad dreams LOL). Accompanied by a pounding headache. The next day, I woke up congested with a runny nose, I coughed up some green phlegm and felt fine the rest of the day. Now, I'm sneezing a bit with clear mucus and it doesn't feel like a cold at all.
Hi not sure if anyone will know this but worth a try,
i have smoked for 41 years mostly roll ups with no filters or anything, but about 3 plus years ago i started putting filters in and after a few months started coughing up green phlegm i asked the doctor he just said getting older and smoking,
Some days it seems worse than others its really strange, i don't smoke load about 15 a day but there dead thin and i only smoke half at a time.
I suggest you should really go see your doctor, cause that's what doctors are for. But drinking fresh fruit juice like orange juice can help get your phlegm out easier especially when it's very thick and green/yellow. Drink water and don't forget to pray. :) hope this helps.
I feel like i have a lump in my throat, making swallowing a struggle. When I clear my throat, I cough up normal light green/white phlegm.
I am a smoker ( Only for a little over a year)
