What Causes Nasal Congestion With Green Colored Mucus And Headaches?
My son is 9 years old and has moderate allergies. He has been congested for three days and it is a yellow-green color mucus as well as pretty bad headaches. Is this something that will run its course or is this something a doctor needs to take a look at?

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Discharging yellow-green mucus means there is a bacterial infection, that needs to be treated with a suitable antibiotic apart from giving simple decongestants to relieve congestion. Therefore, it is better that he is seen by a doctor, preferably an ENT specialist. Thanks.
