Do i need antibiotics if my snot is yellow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occasionally: The common cold can cause discolored mucus from the nose or even a cough with discolored mucus. Most of the common colds in otherwise healthy people resolve with no antibiotics and antibiotics should not be prescribed when symptoms of the common cold get worse after several days, with other symptoms such as headache, fever, earache, lung symptoms or if the health is not good , md visit is needed.
