- Mucus, or snot, may have a bad rep, but it’s actually good for your health. Mucus helps to lubricate and protect your body from infections, foreign invaders, and inflammation, so whenever you feel congested, it’s actually your body trying to protect you. There is a point, however, where mucus can signal something abnormal, and you’ll be able to tell by its color. Tune in to find out when it’s time to see a doctor and what mucus says about your health.

My mom who was a nurse would always yell "WHAT COLOR IS IT?!?" 🤣 Because "Clear is allergies, so I was "in the clear" to go to school", Yellow is a virus so no saying "hello to anyone!", and Green in a sinus infection, so suck it up, here are some antibiotics". 🤷♀ She was pretty straight forward that one.
Sinus infections are horrible and makes it difficult to focus
I’m going through a sinus infection right now! Definitely agree with you!
What if its mostly clear but but also a little yellow??

I had a lot of sinus infections as a kid, I really mean a lot, like constantly.
But the only solution was: Get rid of all the pills and let your body fight it of.
That's no fairy-tail, it was recommended by a specialist.
After recovering from COVID, I wonder if others have experienced dark yellow or even brown mucus for many days.
Mee too
I deadass have like no mucus, but at the beginning I had it so bad I had the post nasal drip thing were it goes down to ur throat, then I took a shit ton of Claritin D and I fucked myself up, I had NO bloggers at all and it burned but now I have lots of green mucus from my throat
Yep
@@bunnybugs280 things got worse way worse, now I’m dealing with oral thrush, I’m pretty sure I’m dehydrated
@@okiedokie1081 I'm sorry! That sucks. Maybe the drug stores carry an over the counter med for thrush-? Be sure to buy a new toothbrush! Hope it goes away soon. ❤
Thank you, my wife had a blood out of her nose today and I a freaking worried, glad to know it calm down now.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Thank you for the love the information you're very informative keep on doing what you do and you're good at it and again thank you for the blessing
Perfect info ! Yet remember patient is also the key
Good job. Very useful thanks
I am surprised that a Sinus infection or Upper Respiratory Infection were not mentioned. But these two are also possible reasons. People who get a nasty Sinus Infection, their nose will bleed and the sinus pressure is very intense. Dark brown. Mucus can be an indication of an upper respiratory infection.
Answers to a group of questions I always ask myself. Thank you!
Glad I found this 😄
Thank you Doc For info it Helps a lot.
Very helpful!! Thanks so much!
This is awesome.. especially Neti Pot work's wonder
I use it quiet often... And use Sutra Neti (catheter) to cleanse the nasal passages.
this is what im looking for. thank you
Very informative thanks
As someone who has hay fever, I'll tell you its common to have most colours and types of mucus, even the occasional nose bleed. Sometimes i get it very severe and can hardly breathe. A day or 2 later, this constant stream of yellow and green snot follows. A load of other wierd symptoms follow along too but still feel fine to an extent. Anyone with hayfever will know what im on about
Very informative 👍
Just to stop people panicking over black mucus, black mucus immediately after exploring an old loft or cellar could simply be lots of dust. If the mucus goes clear after one or two blows, it's not something to worry about.
I am a student...I used to use eyeliner every day...This happened a few days ago. It came again yesterday and I will go to the doctor tomorrow.... I still use waterproof eyeliner, is that the reason?
Helpful,appreciate ya'll
Super,thank you doctor
Thank you for reminding people to cough into their arm! I'm always shocked when I still see people coughing into their hands.
Very helpful and informative, hope to see more of him
I agree.
Yes, he really knows his snot, can't wait to see his poop video!💩😱
Nice... Thanks Doctor
Beautifully explained! But I wonder how many people just picked their nose after this video.
thank you💖
thank you so much sir for this video
because I am also suffering
from this same semtom last four years
If it clear mucus then can last years . But if yellow or green no can’t last years
Bro you have post nasal drip
Fun fact: your stomach produces a new layer of mucus every week otherwise it'll digest itself
That’s not fun.
Ahhhhhh yuck!!!
Fun fact addendum: H. Pylori is a bacteria that eats this mucousal layer, allowing the acid to break down the stomach wall leading to ulcers. 😃
Wish I didn’t know that now
Yep it's true! Interesting isn't it?
nicely timed for me this! Having big problems just now!
Me too
i had grey/black mucus when i was working outside. the doctor say it ok if it doesnt continue being black. i think it happened in the summer when there is dust and stuff in air.
Thank You. 👍
When I was an air force brat, assigned to the state of Fla., I had issues like this. Miserable,constant,runny mucus, and I was so embarrased. Constantly had snotty tissues, or a rag, or handkerchief in my pocket.I was taken to the Dr on multiple occasions and told they didn't know what the issue was.Of course this was in the 60s when medicine was not quite what it is today. It disappeared after we got orders to go to La. thank goodness............
Thankyou so much
Thank you for offering the best examples & advice I found online without having to show real mucus.
Interesting right cynthia so if you got clear mucus it's fine right just a question?
I’ve had black/grey mucus, but that was after the demolition part of renovations. There was SO much dust!!
Very Imformative
Very good doctor ☺️☺️
But what if there's a lot of build up of mucus/snot in the back of your throat??
I'm often coughing up phlegm, and mucus/snot. I feel much better when I eventually cough it up. Yuck!!
Your video was very helpful though. Thank you!
Luckily my mucus comes out as clear or light green usually.
my right ear loved this video
🤣
if you think your nose is a secret but its not! great explaination
4:30... you are welcome.
hello i see its so well explaind i wanna watch more
I started blowing out bright yellow mucus because of the pollen levels where I live are pretty high. I had a sore throat, and I took antibiotics. I am feeling better, and I don't have to blow my nose anymore.
did u happen to have a headache and 10% harder to hear?
@@gorho9269yes
Excess mucus that cannot be stopped is similiar to drowning. Nose is constantly clogged and drainage in the back of your throat is so severe you cannot get enough oxygen. Big gulp, take a breath, big gulp, take a breath. Result of food allergies, environmental hazards and sinus infections.
Type 1 Diabetes is almost reversed completely cause ive had this for 10 years with no insulin but recently the doctors did a blood work showing the pancreas is now making more c-peptides cause it went from 0.10 for several years to now 0.21 in 2024 and sugar levels have dropped from 700 down to 550 as the new range for correction and insulin sensitivity is improving with colonics and blood sugar supplements and apperently Type 1 Diabetes is caused by Candida Albicans in the gut which is causing low insulin sensitivity and no insulin present and stools has a lot of green mucus and it got rid of a kidney infection.
My whole family was sick. We all got sick. Now everyone is better but I'm having an extreme amount of yellow coming out of my nose. I'm talking multiple tissues entirely covered in yellow snot. And it's really concerning me. I've had yellow come out in the past but a little bit. I'm experiencing A LOT coming out.
I’ve had hard red snot for over a year but doctor gave me a cream to use. It kinda helps..
Thank you.
he says go see a doctor, have you tried to see a doctor in 2022 [impossible]
Have u tried to see one make ur point to them here in Coventry we see a Dr if we ask hope ur OK x u need to ask x

I'm having green-yellowy Mucus for a while now, i've been coughing with no sins of sickness that much, just my throat hurts and that's it, and I'm searching why my mucus turns green-yellowy and i find this video very helpful
Me too it started 2 days ago and no it’s like neon green and I’ve started coughing

@@moomoo9715 same mines mixed with my saliva tho so its clear but mine had blood in my snot
What did you do

@1:23 That’s what I always tell her when she ask if it’s too soon
waow very well explained so far half video rare
In my primary school days I found kids who constantly blew their nose a bit weird/gross but now after the pandemic, I am quite frequently blowing my nose. Like after every school lesson to make sure I don't sniff during class
The cycle is complete.
I’ve had green mucous plugging up my nose for almost a month, massive chest congestion, horrible coughing fits, can’t catch my breath, went to the doctor, gave me a 5 day z-pack 3 weeks ago and won’t do anything further for me. Tell me to take OTC cold meds and OTC cough syrup. I’m dying over here.
Omg Tysm I was going crazy about my nose having brown booger I have had it for almost 2 days
After I have recovered from COVID 19, I have a feeling maybe some people who have had it for many many days might have had these colours and are seeing this video right now
Lemon , ginger ,Green Tea ..CBD ..Pineapple juice ..my go to for colds
You re a man, withjust a cough nothing more
I have clear Mucus thanks for letting me know what snot I have
Hy, I have mucus problem from many years, and since 7 to 8 years used nasal spray because in cold I hv flu many times and my nose is blocked, what should I do? I m now worstly tired from this. 😢
I just had a dry dark brown reddish snot in my nose. It was big too. I was like what the hell. I been sneezing for almost a month. With constant headache and pressure around the eyes and nose. It could be a sinus infection
ew
i almost always have runny nose throughout the day and its annoying considering the amount of tissue i use and always having stuffy nose (usually swollen nostrils or possibly polyps?) and sometimes dry and painful due to aggressive nose-blowing. I sometimes wake up coughing since the mucus sometimes drips down to my throat.
one time when i was in 4th grade, i was too sick (but still went to school) that i vomited green colored mucus.
I am tailor ...i got post nasal drip for two years ...i tried alot of drugs and spray nasal washes...and it is never quit ...i really wearing double mask to protect my nasal pipes from dust and fabric dusts ...but i need some instraction about my situation ....is mucs only come out from my nasals or it comes up through my stomach to my throat too ?
One winter a few years ago, I was concerned after seeing black streaks in my mucus after blowing my nose; although, I didn't feel sick at the time. It cleared up after about an hour or two. The next morning it happened again.
Eventually, I realized it was due to my liquid eyeliner I was using. I came to this conclusion because I noticed it only happened on the mornings in which I accidentally flooded my eye with my liquid eyeliner when I was in a rush. I have since switched to using an eyeliner pencil and nolonger have black mucus.
I am a student...I used to use eyeliner every day...This happened a few days ago. It came again yesterday and I will go to the doctor tomorrow.... I still use waterproof eyeliner, is that the reason?
If you do not feel ill then it's probably because of your eyeliner and there's probably no reason to worry but it's a good idea to go to the doctor just a double check. If it were because of a fungal infection thenYou would more than likely feel very sick. Also don't forget that you should be buying a new eye lighter every Month or so bebacteria can build up on your makeup. However if you have a powder that you really like you can crush it app and mix it with 91% alcohol and filled the container again and let it dry, that can preserve it as well as give you a way to fix any broken makeup powder.You can also keep your makeup in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and that will extend the life of your making up by about 2 or 3 months at least that's my experience anyway. If you do put it in the refrigerator it's important that you use a sealed bag like a zip lock bag because that will keep your liquids from drying out. Just make sure that you will let your makeup come to room temperature or put it in your pocket that way it gets warm before you use it because it'll be much easier to apply.
@@alyssao.9577 thankyou for your valuable reply ☺️❤️...ok sister I will try.......
@@alyssao.9577 Thank you...I applied new eyeliner as you said...I think it's done now....Thank you for your kind words.One more doubt, can eyeliner be used in the fridge?
Chest congestion sucks man, Blessed be.
I've had the same color of greenish yellow mucus for multiple years... Should I visit a doctor
If your snot is white while you're sick, is that a good sign as to whether or not you're getting over your illness? In other words, if your mucus has been white for a few days and then it becomes clear again, does that mean your infection is going away?
Yes
If you have persistent white and sticky mucus, it's probably fungal. Add half tsp of Xylitol (beechwood derived) to your sinus rinse mix.

Black mucus can also happen if you breath in dust I figured it out at a cars mechanic when I was studying idk what it's called in english but it's a paste that is applied on corroded parts of the car it dries up and your car is "fixed"
I am a student...I used to use eyeliner every day...This happened a few days ago. It came again yesterday and I will go to the doctor tomorrow.... I still use waterproof eyeliner, is that the reason?
Answer starts at 4:30.
I'm a former heroin addict and I used to snort it in my right nostril. Now I am having so much problem with mucus, that's always hardening and causing me to have blockage and sometimes I cough it out in large brown-green chunks. I haven't started worrying until I started having nose bleeds.
Dude! I hope you went to the doctor.
@@miapdx503 not yet...I definitely have too tho... it's been getting worse...I keep feeling like liquid getting caught in my sinuses and it makes it hard to breath. Idk what the hells wrong with me...I can't find no information online either. Only did the stuff for 3 yrs too... didn't think I'd have problems like this...been sober for a year now.
A damaged nosebone can cause some weird problems. Know a former cocaine user that had mucus running out of his eyes everytime he blew his nose. If it is that the good news is that it will eventually heal... But better to see your doctor.
Weird flex but ok
@@just.8797 Ain't trying to flex, this ain't meant as anything positive... it's embarrassing. I'm just trying to say what problem I've been having...there ain't shit to flex about when it comes to something like that. It's embarrassing tbh.

Funny, when I go to the doctor for a check up on having constant mucus, they tell me it's just allergies and just give me citrizen and kick me out basically. Had this for 2-3 years already and I have it everyday, if its allergies I'm genuinely wondering what it could be
Guyz, happened to me. Try doing jal neti. Look up videos on it. It doesn't not make than 2 mins once you're Disciplined in it. You will see changes in 2 weeks.
@@sonulishinde1544 what is jal neti?
@@EnglishGyanCorner probably neti pot
Not a doctor, but see an ENT (ear nose throat) doctor and mention in strict detail your symptoms. Not all doctors know what they're doing - find one who listens to you and helps you. Best of luck, honey - mucus is a sickening ordeal.
Dairy products and sugary too...gives a lots mucus
Black mucus can also be due to air pollution. (Although just to be sure I'd still see a doctor)
Doc how to stop my ear allergy??? that usually attack during 10pm even after I drink antihestamine...😥
I've had black mucus but it's always been dust or pollutants in my case
I experienced coughing out bloody mucus twice but then to green, yellow green, then very pale yellow green and finally clear, it was a horrible feeling to begin with, ugh!
It was when I had a cold. I was negative for covid
Nasal saline saved my 'life' in regards to my nose. You'd be amazed how nice it'll be to wash your nose once a day. I do it first thing in the morning and based on what comes out, you call tell how much junk gets pulled into there. Recommended!
When I sneeze I found that from my nose some dead cells are coming out,and yes it's not mucus it's like a tissue .Yea i sneeze too much and I decided to check that am i allergic or not but in report i have no allergy but I sneeze too much.and i have no any medical issues before except this one and i do not smoke or anything else.
so what it could be??
I’ve been dealing with a lot of sinus pressure and a stuffy nose and i have very thick white rubbery mucus coming out what does anyone think it is it’s been going on for a few weeks
Right now I have yellow mucus... I'm a bit worried so ima get that checked out...
Humans should never be arrogant. We have no right to be arrogant if anyone is he is a fool. I mean look at the things that come out from our body parts Mucus from nose, Wax from ears, Saliva from mouth and what comes out from intestines noboby can even bear the smell of that.
Currently have the flu and I can’t stop blowing blood out
The mucus is blocking my breathing pls give me advice to fix it.

I was on a roll until we got to black. If I see black it’s usually because I was enjoying the outdoors. I live in “the coal region” where coal dust pollutes the air. I legitimately didn’t know it could mean something else. 🤡

Sometimes my snpt is clear but some red comes out too like ones a day
I get black patchy mucus when I stop smoking gunja for a while, my lungs clear out and it releases the gunja mucus from the lungs . I enjoy it seeing the back patchy mucus coz I know my lungs are cleaning themselves out when I quit the gunja. I never quit forever though
I've had yellow mucus for 2 weeks, no congestion, cough for about a week and today a sore throat. Don't feel sick though. Not sure what I have ...any ideas?
Bruh me too. Is it when you blow your nose? Is it bright yellow? I feel completely fine, I figured it was allergies. Did you figure out what it is?
