This is grouse but, I've been sick for about a week. Allergies and cold, sore throat, all that.. coughing up a bunch of mucous today. This morning it was clear to a light yellow, now in the last hr, seems to have turned thick and light green color. My body hurts, sore muscles up and down my back, some wheezing, and SOB, so I did my nebulizer, as I've only been using my rescue inhaler/albuterol this week for the coughing and SOB. I try to only use the neb treatment if I absolutely must. But todayโฆ read more

Hi ๐ James ode off thought you would be on a emergency plan to guide you . Am in England d Manchester here thatโs what happens if frequent episodes . Usually the colour off Pylem with temperature signifies infection . If I myself cogito up cdiscoured Pylem without temperature & need my nebs I take steroids usually helps cough it up . If I temp I take antibiotics aswell . Have these at hand all the time to prevent flare up getting out off control . Good luck ๐ Bernadette xp
When the mucous is green always get in to be seen by a Doctor asap ! Infections need to be treated quickly !
Get to an urgent care or the ER. You're having an exacerbation, and the quicker you catch it the better. The green gunk says it's going south very fast, so don't wait. This is why you want to have an action plan with your doc where you go over all the red flags and decide exactly what you're going to do when any of them show up. You can avoid things like this. By waiting this long, it's an invitation to a hospital bed and you don't want that. Not only is it expensive, you can get really sick in those places! Get well quick and see your doc to develop an action plan. If your doc doesn't want to do that, find a doc who will.
