Depends....: Not sure exactly what you are describing but possible etioligies of yellow sputum include post-nasal drip, acute bronchitis and even pneumonia depending on your associated symptoms. These may include fever, shortness of breath, sore throat, nasal congestion, etc. If this persists, or you have any of these other symptoms, see your doctor for diagnosis/treatment.
