Okay, this is probably going to be TMI, but I am not sure if l should go see a doctor or not. I've been sick for about a week now, and have had more yellow snot and phlegm than I've ever seen in my life :( Yesterday morning and this morning, it is been turning green. Now I am not sure if I am on the up end of this virus and it is just turning green because it is at the end, or if this is the beginning of a whole new infection. I've been putting off the doctor because l have high co-pays and I am broke. Will this go away on it is own? Or is it something serious that needs to be seen for? By the way, my symptoms are JUST the yellow snot and a cough, both now producing green colored things :( Any advice is appreciated!! Thanks!

the green sounds like an upper respiratory track infection. yes, you should see a physician.

wait it out drink plenty of fluid (water water water hot water) if it doesnt go away go to the local health department.

Ralph is right!! It could be a sinus infection. Allergies or a cold can cause inflammation of ur sinuses. Inflammation causes mucus production. When mucus sits too long, it can become infected. Mucus is clear/white when there is no infection present. When there is an infection present, mucus will be yellow & when the infection has gotten worse, the mucus will be green. Antibiotics would be a sure cure for it. You can see ur GP for a prescription. Email me if u would like to try to take care of it yourself.
