Green mucus in throat, nose for over a week, with cough. slight tingle in lungs. how to know if infection is bacterial or viral?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral: Bacterial infections of the sinus usually take several weeks to develop, of the lungs - there is usually a fairly high fever and rapid breathing. Green color doesn't mean much
