Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Penny- With your infection- you may have the distinction to know the answer to this question: I have read that when neutrofils are in abundance in mucous - it's a green color and it means a big load of bacterial infection.... and that Lymphocytes are white or yellow ish in mucous..... Then I have also read where the color is only indicative of the severity of infection- regarless of what cell has responded... and the progression is from clear -> white-> yellowish-> bright yellow-> Green to brownish green (meaning theres blood in it) . DO you know? ANybody? Idle curiosity I guess - since I have a head cold AND am snorting out (but not thru the nose) some awfull lookin' stuff...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sorry, Barb, to hear you're suffering. I can't really help. I'm one of those primarily asymptomatic sinus disease sufferers. Nobody ever dx'd me with it because I didn't have the normal symptoms. No stuffy nose, no nasal discharge, no allergies. However, I did have a killer sinus infection a couple decades ago and that's when severe headaches started, which later became migraines. Also, whenever I started abx, I'd have a lot of nasal goo down the throat. I still wouldn't know about the sinuses if I hadn't had CT scans because of my jaw situation. Another primarily asymptomatic infection. My scans show so many potential problems in my head, including a potential blood clot, that it's ridiculous. But supposedly none of my illness symptoms pointed anyone in that direction. Sheesh. I think maybe they need to broaden their parameters when it comes to infection symptoms. Not to mention their diagnostic parameters. penny > > Penny- > With your infection- you may have the distinction to know the > answer to this question: > > I have read that when neutrofils are in abundance in mucous - it's a > green color and it means a big load of bacterial infection.... and that > Lymphocytes are white or yellow ish in mucous..... > > Then I have also read where the color is only indicative of the > severity of infection- regarless of what cell has responded... and the > progression is from clear -> white-> yellowish-> bright yellow-> Green > to brownish green (meaning theres blood in it) . > > DO you know? > ANybody? > Idle curiosity I guess - since I have a head cold AND am snorting out > (but not thru the nose) some awfull lookin' stuff... > > Barb > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
