Green phlem is a sign of infection and you must take antibiotics to get well.
Good luck.

I had a doctor tell me a couple of months ago that the green phlegm being bacterial was just a myth. Green phlegm means that you are a little dehydrated and it is just thicker which makes it green. Drink plenty of fluids and it will get better.

Its often a sign of a bacterial infection sometimes a viral infection. If bacterial you must be on antibiotics before you get better. If it decreases day by day you are probably getting better

Any snot in the yellow, brown, or green color spectrum is indicative of an infection. Clear snot is a sign of improvement.
