What causes yellow nasal discharge and yellow phlegm

Yellow snot and yellow phlegm are actually quite common. Most people don’t know what yellow snot and yellow phlegm are. Generally speaking, many reasons may cause yellow snot, such as sinusitis. The simultaneous appearance of yellow nasal discharge and yellow phlegm cannot be ruled out as being caused by a cold.

16. Sinusitis

If you have yellow nasal discharge for a long time, accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache, you must be alert to the possibility of sinusitis and promptly find an ENT department for a detailed examination to confirm the cause. Since yellow nasal discharge is a typical symptom of sinusitis, untreated sinusitis can easily lead to headaches, gradual loss of sense of smell, etc., seriously affecting personal life. If the nasal discharge is post-run, yellow sputum will appear, and if the pharynx is stimulated by nasal secretions for a long time, it may also cause pharyngitis. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the early treatment of sinusitis, and early treatment is effective.

Pay attention to your diet, avoid raw, cold, and greasy food, keep warm, and prevent colds.
