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?
