it means you have some form of bacteria present, however I would just ride it out. Overuse of antibiotics for not advisable. If your problem can resolve itself...let it.
There is concern that overuse of antibiotics makes bacteria resistant to them, especially when many folks do not take the entire regimen

Why Does Mucus Turn Green
2016-11-13 03:25:37 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
A change in mucus colour (yellow or green) indicates that your sinuses are infected. I know this having suffered with sinus for years and currently and having an attack of it at the moment. Sinus infections normally start as a result of a cold/flu that lasts for longer than 2 weeks and you will probably experience pains in your face/eyes/neck.
If it persists for a while, get to a doctor as infected sinuses can lead to meningitus and other serious health problems if not treated with a course of antibiotics.

Yes you are in need of antibiotics , as a chronic sufferer of upper respiratory problems I've been taught that if you have a green or yellow discharge you indeed have an infection and antibiotics will treat the problem . I also have advanced emphysema and have been taught in pulmonary rehab several times to recognize the symptoms immediately as I am unable due to my health conditions to fight them off as someone perhaps may if in otherwise good physical condition , I recommend treatment when these symptoms appear because they can turn into bronchitis and pneumonia both of which can cause respiratory damage .

Yes that dude is absolutely correct. You should only ever use antibiotics if absolutely necessary. If your body gets use to them they will not only fail to work but your body may also stop producing its own natural antibodies in your system. Same goes with vaccines. That is why I can't understand why on earth government is trying to push vaccines on our children. Well I know why, The big pharma corporations line the politicians pockets. So the politicians will go as far as pretending their is a actual law in place (And there is no in place forcing parents to vaccinate their kids)

mucus turns to green that mean you have a pseadomonal bacterial infection. so go to doctor & take antibiotics against pseudomonal infection.

It typically means there is an infection, but sometimes your body can fight off the infection on its own. Give it a few days and see if it goes back to clear, unless you have persistent discomfort that Tylenol/Advil/Aleve will not supress.

Green mucus is often pseudomonas. Cipro kills it. A culture would be required for definitive diagnosis, though.

It usually indicates that you have an infection. Antibiotics would be your fastest treatment.
