A member asked:
I do not have a cold or anything but my mucus is greenish yellow and mixed with blood. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But it does not mean you need to rush and get an antibiotic. Most upper respiratory bugs including viruses will cause discolored mucus. If this ha been present for more than 7-10 days, then it's time to see your physician.
