Question 1

Accepted Answer

This may be: due to an infection.

Question 2

quit smoking a month ago. been sick and coughing up green mucus since then. is that normal with quitting smoking, or have i caught a lengthy cold?

Accepted Answer

Quit smoking . . .: Congratulations on breaking the habit &amp; quitting smoking! In general, tobacco smoke tends to deaden cilia, little hairs that sweep debris out of breathing tubes. After you quit smoking, cilia come back to life &amp; start removing junk that's been building up all the time you were smoking. That's why many ex-smokers report worse cough after quitting! But stick with it so that cilia can clean up lungs!

Question 3

is it normal to have thick green mucus to come out of you girl part.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal discharge: Your discharge is not normal and you should see your doctor about getting vaginal cultures to rule out an infection.

Question 4

i have been coughing up green mucus for five years now, i can't do regular normal functions without coughing until i can't breath, what wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Sinusitis: You may have chronic sinusitis. An otolaryngologist can confirm . You would probably benefit from oral steroids, oral antibiotics, and nasal steroid spray.

Question 5

my baby is 4 days old , from birth hes had thick green mucus stools , he is both breast and bottle fed , he is passing stools that look like scrambled eggs and seems to have some discomfort, is this type of stool normal or could it be the formula?

Accepted Answer

Sounds ok, and...: Babies older than a week should have yellowish poops with the thickness of mustard or thick spaghetti sauce. Breastfeeding babies can have even looser poops. Formula-fed babies have firmer poops, but poop that holds shape would be too firm for the first 3-4 months of life. Poop gets darker, with brown and green colors blended in, and also gets firmer, as a baby gets older.

Question 6

really bad cold with yellow and green mucus for two weeks. symptoms improved but cough still lingering a month later with clear sputum. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Post nasal drip: Post nasal drip is the likely cause of your cough. Over the counter Flonase 1 spray in each nostril twice daily and daily sinus rinses usually help. Hope this helps!

Question 7

hello! about 4 weeks ago i had a 5 day cold with all the common symptoms. a month now ive had a persistent cough that produces green mucus.i feel completely fine besides that. is this normal?could i have had pneumonia and the cough is just lingering?

Accepted Answer

: Sometimes after an upper respiratory infection, you begin to have bronchospasm from the cough and then the cough continues. You also likely have airway inflammation which will also lead to cough. A bronchodilator inhaler along with a steroid inhaler will likely get the cough to go away. So, see your doctor to get treated. Good luck!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

URIs....: Infections in the upper respiratory centers can spread or be commonly seen together.  If you are getting worse or are feverish on the penicillin then you may need a different antibiotic.
