Drainage?: Depending on where you live, tree polen counts are very high, causing inflammation of nose, eyes, throat, etc. This causes increased post nasal drip. The discoloration does not necessarily mean you have an infection, but see your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen please.

Likely resolving: You may continue to cough a bit or have problems talking or singing for weeks after a laryngotracheal infection. If you have fever or continue to cough without improving, see your doctor.
