A member asked:
My mucus is really dark green, what's this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus color: Typically the color of your mucus represents what is happening with the bacteria that is trapped there. When you first get ill its a yellow color often, and then changes to green as your body starts to fight infection. Viral infections tend to be more of a clear color. Other possible reasons- but this is the most common.
