A member asked:
I had a sinus infection that went from yellow to clear and no more symptoms.4 days later its all still clear but had 2 specs of yellow mucus for the first time again.am i still sick or is it old mucus flushing out?

Likely old mucous: or sometimes, secretions can dry and appear yellow. If you are feeling well compared to a week ago, you are on the path to recovery.
