Question
I recovered frm severe flu 2 months ago. Now all flu symptom r gone...except having heavy greenish yellow discharge from my nose that i have 2 blow away 5 times a day. every few hours i feel my nose getting more blocked untill i reach to any wash basin 2 clean this muck...Plz advise me. Thank you

Answer
Samy,
 That color of discharge could indicate a bacterial infection which could be a complication of having the flu. If it's not getting better you should make an appointment with your doctor- especially if you are have a fever or are having any difficulty breathing.
