Hi I am a 27 year old female and all of a sudden I wake up and have very bad mucus. I then began to try and get it up and its a very green thick mucus. It hurts to swallow now and I am constantly feeling the mucus in my throat . Its been 3 days now and still same thing. Really worse at night. My left ear hurts when I swallow now and I don t have health insurance. What could this be?
Hi,thanks for query.You seems to have upper respiratory infection with post nasal drip,means the secretion from nose comes in to throat.Take light diet,steam inhalation,drink more liquids -hot ones are better.Avoid cold drinks and fried foods.Take analgesic for pain that suits you.You should be fine with this.Do not worry.Wait for  a day for improvement,than if not you have to visit a doctor.bye and take care.
