What Does It Mean When I Have Green or Yellow Mucus? - Verywell Health What Does It Mean When I Have Green or Yellow Mucus? - Verywell Health Posted: 11 May 2018 04:28 AM PDT It's common for mucus to change from clear to white, yellow, or green during a single illness. Many people believe the color of your mucus is an indicator of how sick you are and whether your infection is bacterial or viral, but that's not the case.

This article covers chronic bronchitis, which is inflammation/swelling and irritation of the bronchial tubes that carry air to and from the air sacs in the lungs. This can cause mucus to build up and make it harder to take in oxygen and move out carbon dioxide. Unlike acute bronchitis that lasts for a short period, chronic bronchitis occurs at least three months a year for at least two years in a row. Chronic bronchitis falls under the umbrella of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . COPD is a group of lung diseases that block airflow and create ongoing breathing-related problems.
