Can An Infection Lead To Dark Green Spots In Clear Mucus While Blowing Nose?

I keep seeing dark green spots in clear mucus when I blow my nose. It s not an everyday thing, but has been happening with some frequency for awhile now. I was taking antibiotics for a week, finished the cycle 2 days ago. Just blew my nose and found small, dark green spots in clear mucus again. Could this be due to environmental factors or is it signs of a recurring infection?

WELCOME TO HCM,
THIS GREEN COLOURED MUCUS INDICATES U R RECOVERING FROM UR INFECTION. U NEED TO TAKE UR ANTIBIOTICS FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS. ALONG WITH THAT TAKE SOME ANTIALLERGIC TAB AND TOPICAL NASAL DECONGESTANT DROPS. TAKE STEAM INHALATION ALONGWITH. IT WILL SUBSIDE SOON.
