A member asked:

I saw doc on wednesday coughing up yellow mucus and very runny nose fatigue was put on levofloaxcin now mucus is thick and dark green?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Feeling better?: The change in mucous is not significant unless you are not feeling better. If you are getting more cough, short of breath or fever then I would be concerned. The mucous changes due to white blood cells coming to chew up the bacteria and that is a good sign.
