A doctor has provided 1 answer

What was originally a viral upper respiratory tract infection could have developed into a bacterial infection after 7-10 days. A sinus infection would then cause ongoing nasal or postnasal drainage of discolored mucus. A bronchitis would cause coughing up of discolored phelgm. If symptoms persist a course of an appropriate antibiotic may be needed.
