Severe Cold, Fever, Cough, Bright Yellow Mucous In Nose. Taking Medicines. Yellow Liquid , Matter Of Concern?

Hi, my fiance has been sick with a severe cold for the past few days. He has been running a mid-grade fever of 100-104 for the past 3 days which finally broke this morning. Now he is having bright yellow liquid coming from his nose . This is in addition to the normal mucus he is coughing up with his bad cough. he started taking cheratussin yesterday and mucinex D today after seeing the doctor yesterday and them telling him it was just a cold. Should we be concerned about this yellow liquid? It s freaking him out.

Hi,
It seems that your finance might be having acute viral infection.
But it seems that now there might be having lower respiratory tract infection as well giving rise to producing cough.
He may require one higher antibiotic medicine course as there might be bacterial infection as well.
Continue with cough syrup.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.

Yellowish color is suggestive of infection.Since Mucinex D/Cheratussin relieve our symptoms. Antibiotic like Levobact 500 mg has to taken along with Mucinex which can be obtained from your Physician's end since its a prescription drug.Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
