My 2 year old has had snot running out of his nose for about a 6 weeks now. It came on at the middle of Dec. and went away so I didn't take him to Dr. Snot ran clear but kept running for about a week and then turned green again. Since then some days it is clear and some days it is green. He has NO other symptoms at all. No fever, nothing else. Will a virus also cause green snot or is it only green if there is bacteria? It has been for a long time so I began thinking it is an allergy. He is completely fine otherwise. Except for his sinuses. If he were suffering or had developed a fever or anything else, I would have been straight to the doctor but this has been coming and going without completely clearing up so we are going to the doctor tomorrow. I just wondered if anyone has any ideas or has experienced with their child.

I am not sure if allergies will produce green snot but i do know that infection is a common cause of green sputum.

Allergies do not cause green snot. I have allergies and have never had that. Only an infection of some sort can be the culprit and glad you are seeing doc.

No, usually allergies will only cause clear drainage. I would take him to the doctor if at all possible. If you can't, keep doing some research on the net. There is a lot of good advise and tells you what kind of medicine is best. Usually meds don't really cure for stuff like this, but helps us deal with the problems.

Green or yellow nasal discharge is a sign of infection.
Allergies will be clear or cloudy white.
He needs to see a doctor.

Normally the green mucus is an infection. You can find out more about allergies with the information here. I suggest you see a doctor too.

It's an infection.
Green is the color of bacteria festering in his nasal passages.
He needs to go to a doctor. 6 weeks and no relief, you should take him to the doctor for meds.
