"Thick yellow mucus speaks for infection viral or bacterial..."

Mucus is yellow, when it contains inflammatory cells, mainly leukocytes. Thin yellow mucus can result from any cause of inflammation of respiratory tract: infection, allergy, asthma, irritation. Thick yellow mucus speaks for infection viral or bacterial. It is a regular symptom in acute or chronic bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia. Typically yellow mucus is a sign that our body is being attacked by either a bacteria or a virus. 194960

It sounds to me like you have a sinus/respiratory infection.Drink a lot of water to keep yourself hydrated. Stay away from the dairy products, for better solution, go to your doctor.. glen_cloud

"That can cause your body to produce yellow phlegm like the sinus infection..."

Yellow phlegm means that your body is trying to fight an infection. Normal phlegm should be clear transparent or white, but if your have yellow phlegm it means you have an infection. There are several types of infections that can cause your body to produce yellow phlegm like the sinus infection , the bronchitis or pneumonia. The other minor type of infections you won`t even need to do anything about it and if the yellow phlegm goes away after only a few days without any other symptoms, you probably had only a minor sinus infection. You don`t need antibiotic to treat it if it is of short duration but if you also feel chest pain, fever and facial pain, it means you need to see a doctor because you might need antibiotics to ease up the sinus infection. Bronchitis and pneumonia are also accompanied by strong cough, high fever and chest pain. Vera Oak 178664

"This morning it changed to a cough with..."

I am 20 weeks pregnant and had a sore throat for 4 days. This morning it changed to a cough with chunks of green mucus coming up- and a very sore throat when i cough. i have asthma and am using my albuterol, advair, and singulair. i`ve been taking tylenol for 4 days as recommended and is there anything else i can do? i threw up from coughing just now and cannot sleep.

It's pretty normal at times...drink plenty of water...as the last guy said...drink and drink and drink... If not, maybe drink something that is soothing to your throat.

Q. I have a cold and am coughing up dark yellow phlegm?
i am on my second day of having a cold and i have begun coughing up dark yellow phlegm. other colds i've had it's usually more of a clear color, could this be more than just a common cold? i'm not worried, i'm just trying to determine if i should make an appointment with my doctor or not. i'm 22.

"Yellow phlegm could be an indication of a bacterial infection..."

Yellow phlegm could be an indication of a bacterial infection. "Normal" phlegm from a cold is usually clear, light green, or slightly opaque. Anything dark brown, deep yellow, or intense green could be a sign of something more. If you don't start improving in a few days, or if you have a sudden worsening of your symptoms, I'd recommend that you see your doctor. He or she can determine if you need a course of antibiotics.

Q. If i'm coughing up yellow to greenish phlegm, could i wait it out without antibiotics?
yahoo might not be the best to ask for medical advice, but i'm still curious. so if i'm currently coughing yellow to greenish phlegm, could i just wait it out until i recover? because i don't want to be taking antibiotics, and such. so can bacterial infections recover by itself from the human body. thanks. * not chesty cough, no tiredness, muscle aches or fever. only a sore throat.

"Have an infection that could turn into bronchitis or even pneumonia if left untreated..."

You could wait it out and hope that your natural immune system will take care of it. But it sounds as though you have an infection that could turn into bronchitis or even pneumonia if left untreated . I personally would rather take the meds and feel better a lot sooner and not risk it getting worse.

Q. Severe sore throat and coughing up dark yellow phlegm and nasal congestion?
ok, so for the last 5 days or so i've had an extreme sore throat, no fever, started coughing up a thick dark yellow phlegm and now my nose is very congested- i can no longer blow it out like i was. i don't have insurance though so i'm just trying to figure out what it is to fight it off myself. what do you guys think it is?

"I suffer from these symptoms every year..."

I suffer from these symptoms every year. It's usually right around this time of year, especially when the weathers changing so frequently. I also smoke (unfortunately for about 5 years now) so I'm sure that has a major effect on why repeatedly catch this. As far as the sore throat, I drink slush's. They feel really good on my throat, and kind of numb it. The coughing gets bad at night, so i take Nyquil or something of that sort, before I go to bed. Mucinex is a medicine that i've found extremely helpful. It helps with the phlegm (which is my least favorite part). Hope this helps!

Q. I have been coughing up a thick yellow phlegm for months now and i am not sure what is causing it?
i have been coughing up a thick yellow phlegm for months now. i am not sure what is causing it, or how to get rid of it? i have tried the over the counters,and hot tea, honey and lemon, to no avail. what could be causing this and how should i treat it?

"Yellow mucus indicates infection..."

Yellow mucus indicates infection. You may want to go see a dr to get a script for antibiotics...especially since this as been going on for months now.

Q. I have been coughing up yellow phlegm for the passed 2-3 weeks?
about 4-5 of those days i had a fever. also today i was shivering a little bit when the temperature wasnt that cold. is this normal and will it go away eventually or do i need to see a doctor? also id like to mention about a week ago it subsided for a few days then came back.

"I've always heard that when the phlegm is yellow or greenish...it's an infection..."

I've always heard that when the phlegm is yellow or greenish...it's an infection. So you probably do need a doctor consult: try http://watsonnow.net since it sounds like you an antibiotic. If you are insured and have a doctor local to you, get in there.

Q. Coughing, yellow phlegm, what's wrong with me?
hello. since friday i have been coughing. started as a dry cough, nothing else. starting saturday i started running a low-grade fever and coughing up yellow phlegm. finally on monday i called the doctor and he prescribed me augmentin. i really don't think i"m getting better though. i am still coughing up yellow phlegm, there is a crackling or bubbling type feeling in my chest when i exhale(i can feel it with my hand on my chest) and i'm wheezing. my ears feel blocked and at night i'm still running a low-fever. 99-101 and now have a sore thoat (which i think is from the coughing) i feel like i have more energy and i'm def. coughing up more stuff, but i'm not sure if this med. is working. has anyone else ever had this? should i call the doctor again? i'm on day 4 of the antibiotic and its a 7 day. please help.thanks! should i wait until monday (when the med. is gone) or give him a call now?

"To help clear your chest once the augmentin is out..."

Sounds like an upper respiratory infection. You are only on day 4 of a 7 day process, so give it a few more days. If after the seven days you don't feel better or fever persist, call your doctor. If your cough is non-productive(stop coughing up phlem), then the Augmentin is not working and you need to take something else. It takes a week or two to totally clear a URI. Just give the antibiotic a little more time. If your ears are plugged too, you may have a sinus infection. The sinuses draining will give you a sore throat and cough. Also, the mucus will/can drain into your chest causing and URI. Ironically, I am recovering from a sinus infection that went to my chest. I hit the 1week mark yesterday. Ask your doctor about a medicine like Mucinex to help clear your chest once the Augmentin is out . It really helps break up the mucus in your chest, and makes your coughing productive. I hope you feel better soon! ;)
