I've got chronic sinus infection. I tend
to get them about every other month. This
month I got one, 2 days later, woke up
with a very sore ear. I now can't hear out
of this ear. I went to the doctor, he
looked at my throat (which was sore) and
my ear. Then diagnosed ear infection, gave
me amoxicillan (2x daily; 2, 500mg pills).
He didn't even bother looking in my nose,
which had since cleared up? Over the next
2 days my chest got worse, to the point
where I was coughing up yellow stuff
(tinted orange by the blood from my throat
occasionally) and bright to dark green
stuff, and wheezing when I breathe. I went
back, he gave me an albuterol inhaler.
Now the stuff from my lungs has turned
white, but I'm still wheezing (with and
without the inhaler). And I'm blowing out
murky green stuff. But what's confusing me
is I'm also blowing out clear (which I
thought meant healthy?), yellow (which
means unhealthy?) stuff. Isn't that kind
of a contradiction and what does it mean?

So your mucous is varying in color? Have
you seen an ENT specialist? Or just a
GP?
What's happening for you emotionally right
now? Do you feel like you need to voice
an opinion?

Ok, I don't understand that last part.
I'm still coughing up clear and white
stuff now. Apparently it's something
that's been going around town, my friend
(who's sister and herself have both gone
through it) described it as a combination
of flu and pneumonia, with a long lasting
persistent cough. I'm at the last part
apparently, I can't wait for it to go.
I've been coughing up stuff since March
1st.
My mom was diagnosed with pneumonia, but
she had the flu aches and pains. We're
pretty sure we had the same thing, as
that's what usually happens, just reacted
differently to it.

It's theorized that emotional disorders
can bring about the inflammation of
certain systems and organs in our body.
So, I was asking if you're having trouble
expressing yourself b/c maybe anger or
hostility are at the root of the
symptoms.
On another note, there are great cough
expectorants with natural essential oils
for clearing up lung issues. Are you
using a cough syrup?
