Green thick phlegm . what does that mean if i'm not sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Green phlegm: It could mean you have some chronic sinus inflammation, or possibly had some mucous in your nose that crusted up and didn't clear out quickly. If it persists, see an ENT to be evaluated. Rare issues like allergic fungal sinusitis can be ruled out.
