Hi, for the last few days I've had a terrible sinus infection. For the last few hours I've been blowing out thick, green rubbery mucus that's making it difficult to breath. Once I blow it out, I'm fine again.

A member asked:

When you have a mild seasonal sinus infection can it make your mucus acidic? Its turning fall and I'm getting some normal seasonal post nasal drip.. But it seems to taste acidic, at least more acid than normal. Is this something to worry about?
