Suffering From Respiratory Infection.What Could Be The Golden Yellow Snot?

Hi, i have a question about my husband. He is just getting over a respitory infection and is finishing up on his antibiotics. However, he was in the shower when he blew his nose and golden like yellow snot came out of his nose. He has never had this symptom before and he is actually feeling better from his infection and has no other symptoms. Do you know what this could be and if it is something we need to worry about? Thank you, Katie

Hello ,


Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read your query . As far as golden yellow snot is concerned this can be due to cold flu , throat infection or due to infection in lungs . For this i will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination and treatment . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin and Allegra by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you .
