I am a female, 83 yrs young, up until 2 weeks ago in excellent health... 2 weeks ago I traveled to Hawaii for 4 days, upon returning home I had developed a cough that produced phlegm. After 4 days, I left for 4 days in. NewOrleans where I thought my condition was improving, but to my dismay on my return, it was worse. My eyes developed this yellow crust which is annoying. Should I be worried? What can I do?y
Thanks for your question I completely understand your question it seems like you have developed an upper respiratory infection if sputum is yellow then it's a bacterial infection, and you need to consult a pulmonologist who can prescribe you some broad spectrum antibiotics like lifetime for a week or two as needed, and he may request for a sputum culture and sensitivity if needed .wash your eyes with Luke warm water three times a day, thanks feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
