A member asked:
When i wake in the morning i need to spit and it's yellow tinted and some is darker color .i've been on antibiotics 3days for sinuses. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinus drainage: As the antibiotics work, there should be decreased inflammation of the sinus openings. As they open, you will get increased drainage of pus from the sinuses, and therefore may see some pretty gruesome stuff drain out of your nose.
