"caught a cold germ from co-worker coughing, wet lungs and no mask a week ago. It was a sinus and throat infection in me, still have lingering cough, not helped with cough drops and using inhaler several times a day as heat, frustration brings on fits. The green mucus makes me think it may be heading into my lower airways. Mucenex? hate it, it comes through my pores with smell.

Hi sarah - nice to see you here again! I'm sorry to hear this seems to have caught up to you from your work environment. For many folks with asthma ( me included), all it takes is a simple cold of some type and then, aspects of one's asthma can be triggered. It sounds like, from what you've shared, this may what's happened in your situation.
We usually suggest if symptoms persist or even worsen, it may be time to reach out for one's physician. My concern is the change in color of the mucus. There are times that a change in color can be indicative of an infection. If that's the case, the most prudent action would be to reach out to your physician. The doctor can make an assessment and determine if something more than Mucinex might be indicated for you.
What do you think?
Again - nice to see you again.
Warmly,
Leon (site moderator asthma.net)
