    Default yellow phlegm

    is the phlegm i spit out is yellow do i need anti-biotics.?
    i thought i just had a cold/virus but now i think it may be an infection because the phlegm is very yellow.

    my sinuses are extremely painful too so it may be a sinus infection.

    i have a repeat still on my prescription for anti-biotics that i took last time i had a sinus infection. so im thinking of just taking these rather than going to the doctor?

    My internist told me yellow or green goo means it's antibiotics time. Do you have a fever off and on?

    At least call your doc for an over-the-phone consultation before popping pills though, in case they might not be necessary. I try to avoid antibiotics as much as possible, but letting an infection take a deeper hold isn't a good idea either.

    Feel better. I missed Friday because hacking and spitting up goo does not bring Teh Sexy. Monday is out from other health complications, so I am royally pissy about missing these shifts. I feel your pain.

    Sinus infections tend to be very self limiting. They burn themselves out in time.
    There are a lot of new studies out that show they don't clear up an faster with antibiotics.

    Drink lots of fluids, take a decongestant (Sudafed) and an expectorant (Mucinex).

    What you need is a bucket of icy water and a cold soda in it, plus a cup of hot hot tea as well.

    A good fuzzy warm/hot blanket and a tub of lukewarm water for your feet.

    Alternate between the 2 extremes.

    If you are cold, cuddle in the blanket and drink the tea, if you are hot drink the cold soda and stick your feet in the cool water.

    That's how I had to do it to kick the fever from that damn flu I had for 2 weeks in Feb!

    You need some oil of oregano. Not just any old kind either. It has to be Wild Mediterranean Oil of Oregano with a high carvacrol %. The one I take is from Wild Oats or Whole Foods and is Wild Oats brand. It is 70% carvacrol. The yellow is most likely toxins being eliminated from your body. I am very susceptible to bronchitis, pneumonia and any lung infection. This is the only thing that works extremely well for me. You can either get the ones in the veggie caps which are easier to take(the taste is rather strong) or you can get the bottle with the dropper and put 2-4 drops in a glass of water and take three times a day. You can also put it in your bath water and in a humidifier. When I start hacking up phlegm like yours, I take it internally and put it in the humidifier when I go to bed. I swear, this works in two days and you'll be feeling great!! It breaks up all the crap in your lungs and in your sinuses. This stuff is highly recommended for anyone with asthma, allergies, bronchitis,pnemonia and sinus infections. From the research I've done yellow means toxins. Green means infection. I always hack up yellow form the Oil of Oregano and I also get a yellow nasal drip from my nose. All this means is that your body is trying to eliminate the toxins and that your body may be overburdened with them. Working in a strip club will do that to you, along with smoking cigarettes and breathing the air in general. Curezone.com has alot of information and do research on the oil of oregano on there. It can be used for alot of different things.

    Sounds like a sinus infection to me, you'll probably need antibiotics to get rid of it.

    Any kind of colored phlegm (green, yellow) means it's bacterial and not viral. Get some antibiotics.

    Get a sinus irrigation kit. Use it right away and then on a regular basis. Your sinuses will thank you. Get a squirty bottle rather than a neti pot.

    I was about to suggest this, too. I have always had chronic sinus problems and I wish I knew about this all along. It is so relieving. I got mine at Walgreens for like $13 and it is a godsend.
    (it's called the Neil Med sinus rinse)

    MINE TOO! And I am not a smoker. Maybe it is from the strip club smoke?

    ... can't be. I don't work the clubs, I don't smoke and I'm rarely around smoke.

    I'm just taking a stab at this but I know that Candida threads turn black when the die. Now, I don't know for sure, but maybe it could be Candida. Candida is a natural yeast that grows in our bodies, but can shock the system if it grows out of control. Go to CUREZONE.com and research candida. If you don't smoke or anything I would say most likely it could be this. I have it, and apparently it is very common due to our western diets and overuse of antibiotics. Oh and BTW---OIL OF OREGANO IS AN ALL NATURAL ANTI BIOTIC--IT IS VERY USEFUL FOR CANDIDA,PARASITES, ASTHMA, COLDS,FLUS,SINUS INFECTIONS, EAR INFECTIONS, ATHLETES FOOT,the list goes on and on. I can't stress this enough to the ladies here. Candida and Parasites has become and epidemic in the United States as well as many other countries and I strongly suggest that anyone who cares about their health go to CUREZONE.com and read what master herbalists and holisitic healers have to say about using natures medicine in curing just about all health issues. I have been using holistic healing for over a year now and I am in the best health since a teen.

    ^^^ Oil of Oregano and Grapefruitseed Extract (Nutribiotic brand).

    Antibiotics will increase your chances of future infections (unless you go through an extreme recolonization program -- more than just taking regular old probiotics) - since it sounds like you've taken antibiotics within the past year or two I say this.

    Um, yeah. I read his book. His information changes a lot and he tells me to stare into the sun to cure cancer. Oh I'm sorry, gaze in the direction of sunlight to get the Vitamin D I need... to cure cancer.

    Also, I've never had a yeast infection in my entire life... plus I have NONE of the other symptoms so I highly doubt that's it.


    Edit:
    G-d, I'm sorry, I'm coming off as a total bitch and I apologize. I know you were only trying to help and do something you thought was good for my health, but I am really skeptical on a lot of that candida blaming for everything because - well - like I said above. I know you meant well and meant to help me healthwise and I really shouldn't have been so cocky or cranky in my reply and I'm sorry.
