Started with a sore throat and something like flu...

[AXUHS]

I had a bout of sore throat and something like a flu about 3 weeks back. I was given amoxycilin 250mg for 5 days, but till now, I have been experiencing a dark brownish mucous from my nose when I suck my mucous back and spit it out during the mornings. Throughout the day, when I blow my nose, there will be occasional green mucous too. But phlegm that I cough out is colourless. My throat is only very slightly sore occasionally. In addition, the white in my eyes have red spidery streaks ever since, and I have eye discharge when I wake up in the morning. I am very troubled. Is this serious? Thanks for your patience with my long message.

Hi, green mucus is suggestive of viral infection. It will go by itself. But if it persists for more than a week, try antihistaminics and steam inhalation for 3-4 days. I hope and wish that you are not diabetic or hypertensive.

Sound like strep throat, have you had a test done by your doctor?
