A member asked:
Over week of sinus problems. nasal congestion & a lot of pressure. blowing nose alot. today mucus is neon green, now egg yolk yellow is this bacterial?

Likely not: Yellowish, greenish pus is consistent with a bacterial infection though a viral sinusitis can also produce similar symptoms. Bacterial sinusitis is much more severe in symptoms, though.
