A member asked:
What does brown mucus from nose mean after worst of cold over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus color: One of the oldest methods of determining a persons health, is to notice the color, smell, and consistency of various bodily fluids. A brown mucus, is likely the result of bacterial overgrowth or infection. This could be a sinusitis and require antibiotics to treat. If this is new, and happening more than just once, i would recommend an evaluation by a physician. Also note any fever or chills.
