thick white mucus?
Question:
quick question: I went to see the doctor earlier this week…the whole family has been sick with an upper respiratory infection. Kids have ear infections, wife and I are both stuffed up. a little yellow from my nose, but mostly thick white creamy junk on the left side of my nose…I’ve never had that before. The doctor suggested I sit it out, it’s most likely viral and will go away. I’ve been irragating with the grossan tip 2x or more per day. Is there any culture an ENT would do, or anything else to diagnose if I should be on antibiotics? Why is it thick & white…never had that before in my life. as a side note, my wife had a yeast infection two weeks ago. related? what to do…I need to get better. Thanks!

if you have a bad cold, be glad if that’s all you see coming out of your nose. I would hate to tell you what comes out of my nose when I have acute sinusitis. Colds are self-limiting, even if there is some sinus involvement, usually lasting 1-2 weeks. See if you get better this week. Be patient. If you are heading into your 3rd week and there is no improvement, or if it gets even worse, then you might have some kind of sinus problem. Your primary care physician can prescribe a first-line antibiotic in that case. Generally it’s not necessary to see an ENT unless you caught a bug that won’t go away even after several weeks, even with two courses of two different antibiotics. > as a side note, my wife had a yeast infection two weeks ago. related?
Probably not. Candida has been blamed for all kinds of things, but most of that is just quackery. However, if your wife gets to the point where she will need antibiotics, then you should tell your doctor that she has a history of yeast infections. Because some antibiotics are notorious for causing more yeast infections. — Steven L.
