A member asked:

Should i be worried my 7 week old baby is sick sneezing out yellow snot. but i suction her with the sucky ball and got dark yellow snot

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pretty common: Nasal mucous will color over time due to the breakdown products of germ metabolism. It does not necessarily mean baby has a problem that requires antibiotics.
