Tips to get rid of mucus(what helped me) - cutting out sugar(stay away from sodas and sugary food) - drink warm liquids(like tea) - dress warm when you go outside(if it’s cold where you live) - try to cough up the mucus(don’t swallow it)

Great video. Short and informative, thank you!

Dr.Kuperan, you’re amazing!

I woke up this morning with very dark brown(almost black) mucus. I have been on vacation for 2 weeks and just came out of it 2 days ago. I don't think I have any other symptoms other than sneezing many times in a row.

One of my nostril produce green mucus and the other one is normal. Almost everyday for mounths now I have that production. I'm not someone that like to go to the doctor often , but should I consult about his issue?

i think this is my first time searching an educational video 💀. my snot becomes green when its a sign that im gonna have a cold 😭 i dont know why but when i was younger, this may sound disgusting but after i drank too, my snot would turn into this brown and yellow colour for a day and i dont know why 😭 the brown looked like the exact same colour as tea. it doesnt happen anymore tho 🙏🏻

I recently got sick last Wed. Chills and then the congestion in my nose and head. I theorize that my water intake dropped with a combination of starting to use the train in NYC. I've been WFH for 5.5 months full time. Anyway, The mucus I saw in the tissue started off a thicker white. I drank water All Thursday and Friday. The mucus then became clear again. My water intake dropped on Saturday (yesterday 5/21/23) and now I'm blowing out green mucus. When I clear my throat brown is coming up. I've been doing non stop steam to loosen the mucus in order to blow it out. Am I on to something? I don't have a fever or anything and I rarely get sick. Maybe once a year and that's being generous. I'm also 36 w/ no history is chronic diseases/illnesses. No STDS and the only thing that runs through my family is breast cancer from my grandma.

Doctor I had a thread like tiny black mucus coming out of my throat early morning today I was Out yesterday for an outing is it normal to have such things I’m worried badly😭😭😭?and noted this same issues last week too I’m diagnosing with acid reflux for past few months but now currently having chest pain Stomach heat nausea 😭😭😭I’m truly scared pls clear me out this sit

Why did my mucus start off clear then yellow, green now clear again? Also do the canadian wildfires have anything to do with this. I have asthma and hay fever allergies. Shoukd i go see a dr?

I’ve had this cronic type of cough i cough up thick green mucus and have shortness of breath and I’ve had this for like 7-8 years

Is Myeloperoxidase that shifts colours from green to brown?

Antibodies being recruited to fight out infection in a specific part of my body, in addition to some of them dying while trying to help is probably why I feel like crap! My body is so tired and achy 🤕

I have a cold + cough and stuffy nose these past few days and I think I'm near at getting better but I seem to produce colorless bubbly phlegm/saliva and seem out of breath. What does this mean?

I got light green/yellow phlegm which is stinging abit in nose and dry cough help pls

mine is clear but had like a tiny tiny bit of blue in it what could that be?

Hallo Doctor,what is sindrom OZENA? Danke

What about mucus you are coughing up? I have a super thick glue like consistency mucus that comes out in tiny chunks when I cough it's bright white sometimes a tinge of yellow lasting now 7 weeks

I have a sinus infection and I noticed it goes from a thick clear mucus to green and back to clear mucus. May I ask the reasoning? Thank you so much!

What do I do about yellow snot

I'm coughing up clear phlegm with yellow specks. It's basically yellow mucus, but not a yellow clump. It's separate yellow bits in the clear.
