Coughing green mucus with blood

Common Questions and Answers about Coughing green mucus with blood


When I blow my nose in the morning there is green/yellow coloured mucus with blood. My nose has blood present but isn't really bleeding. I have allergies to dust pollen and enviromental. This has been going on now for a week. There is no facial pain, just sneezing throughout the day. I started taking aerieus for the allergies. Is this causing the mucus to come out and my sinuses to dry out and bleed?
It is thus, much more important. Blood-tinged mucus is very common with a variety of infections. If combined with what would otherwise be yellow sputum it could present as orange sputum. Bloody sputum or pure blood is not. If not cleared from the lungs quickly, blood could conceivably be orangish rather than bright red. The presence of a little blood in sputum, especially with harsh coughing, is not a cause for alarm.
He told me point blank that he didn't expect to find anything, and that he, and the nurses in the room with him during the scope were quite surprised with the amount of mucus that was in my lungs. He did what he called a "lung wash" and I was cough free again for almost 10 days. It's back again, with the vomiting, etc. I've been reading up on LPR (a type of reflux) and think it matches me. I'm willing to go to a clinic who specializes in LPR.
Ok now here is my problem. I have been noticing that my nasal passage is constantly clogged with mucus. The dark green kind...its got a name...oh yea phlem? any ways. I've been coughing lightly and spitting it out every day for almost the past two weeks. I took some more nyquil and the cough is finally gone. Now, when I blow my nose, I see small traces of blood. Today is the third day that I've noticed it. should I be worried?
Symptoms can include a headache or pressure in the area of the sinuses, a stuffy nose, achy teeth, an odor coming from the nose, postnasal drip, cough, sore throat, lightheadedness, constant low fever, and thick, yellow to green nasal drainage. The best way to identify a sinus infection is with a sinus CT scan, although sinus x-rays are a decent alternative. A sinus CT scan will also identify if any of the openings that drain your sinuses are blocked.
here's the dirty little medical secret--most of the problems with mucus, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, etc. are caused by nasal drainage from a chronic sinus infection/irritation. Doctors can't treat it well, because antibiotics don't reach the sinuses well, due to low blood circulation there. I teach grade school (germ factory) in Houston (mold city) near oil refineries (worst air pollution in U.S.
The combination of green mucus and blood is consistent with the diagnosis of acute bronchitis, but your continuing to raise blood, following antibiotic therapy, is worrisome. It raises the question of other diagnoses, namely pneumonia and blood clots to the lungs.
As my vitamin D levels are still low (and i forget sometimes to take my supplements lol) i am reminded when i have to keep clearing my throat due to excess mucus. Ugh! The mucus is gone within days of supplementing with vitamin D thankfully.
I know it's not bacterial because I'm not coughing up a lot d green mucus or have that drowning feeling in my lungs. I think it's just my Annual Bronchitis kicking in it has always started during late fall early winter. But I am going to be setting a doctor appointment so I can get more of those Tessalon pearls.
The glob was white and seemed like a really thick mucus and it had globs of blood on it and a green mucus around it. I found that after that one sneeze I just had to blow once (clear mucus came out) and my nose was clear again. My throat and head still hurt really bad and now I am kinda feverish. Are this glob and sickness related or do I just have a cold and this just happened to happen now. Also I read that this was common after a surgery but I have never had any kind of surgery!
Mucus color has changed and less quantity, now more clear/white and less yellow/green - however now getting some light brown sometimes with light reddish tinge, was rare in past. Culture was taken during bronc - 3 weeks later nothing present yet- fungus not found. Feel good - jogging a mile a day. What is your guess as to what the problem is, what treatment is required now ? Thanks in advance !
I am no doctor but I went through a similar situation...I had yellow and green Mucus and a bit of blood. I was told that when the mucus is yellow or green it usually indicates a viral infection. That could be the cause of most of your symptoms...have you gone to the doctor to get a Culture test of your throat?
I have not had fever or flu like symptoms but I have a lot of green mucus that I have been coughing up for over a week and this morning there was a lot of blood when I blew my nose. My ears also squeak when I blow my nose. I am taking Mucus Relief DM and it seems to help but in the mornings is the worse.
This inflammation can block sinus drainage and cause increased mucus production that may contain small amounts of blood. The mucus can drain from the nose and sinuses down the back of the throat causing a constant or intermittent postnasal drip and sore throat. The best way to identify a sinus infection is with a sinus CT scan, although sinus x-rays are a decent alternative. A sinus CT scan will also identify if any of the openings that drain your sinuses are blocked.
