A member asked:
I am bringing up green mucus, no illness or fever, but it tastes like infection. can you have lung infection without being sick etc.i do have copd.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Green mucus : it's possible to have an infection but not be very sick from it. You would need a basic evaluation with an exam and probably some tests.
