What Causes Greenish Mucus During Cold?
I am a 27 year old woman. I have had a ongoing cold for about 3 weeks now. But then I started getting real bad mucus and sometimes it would come out pinkish and real smelly. The color went away but now it's coming out light greenish but still smelly & can sometimes taste it in the back of my throat. What is it I have & what is it gonna make it go away?

hi
something which is coming into ur throat is called postnasal drip.
if u have upper respiratory tract infection this may cause such symptom.
consult ur ent surgeon before taking any medicine .
u can do steam inhalations with karval plus capsules thrice daily to relieve ur symptoms
greenish discharge is due to infection.
u should start tab azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 5 days.
along with tab cetrizine 10 mg bedtime
