A member asked:
Nasal discharge is greenish. my doc says you can't tell too much from the color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He/she is right: The color of your nasal or lung secretions does not tell you much if anything about whether you have a bacterial or viral illness, as they both can cause green/yellow/etc discharges.
