    "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.

Typically yellow mucus is a sign that our body is being attacked by either a bacteria or a virus. 194960

    "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

    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.

    This answer closely relates to:

    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.

    • Still coughing up yellow mucus after pneumonia

    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. 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! ;)

    This answer closely relates to:
    • Burning sensation in chest and coughing up green mucus
      • I have a burning sensation on right side of my chest, when i cough. feel as if my chest "rattles" somewhat. cough not productive?
      • I have been coughing and coughing for 3 weeks and now still coughing up dark green flem, unctrolable coughing i am on augmentin for infection how can?
      • Is it possible to have some blood in the mucus if you have sinus infection and cough up flem?
    • Coughing up yellow mucus
      • Why do i cough for a long time already, have rales soundd on my chest that i can hear and has a productive phlegm, when i spit , it`s white but kindda?
      • Do u get chest tightening with a chest infection?
      • What helps coughing when chest is burning?
