I recently had a sinus infection which cleared after. 2 wks if antibiotics , but now that infection is gone I'm still having some post nasal drip which is very little & VERY PALE green. I have to look to see the green. My dr says it because of allergies which caused the infection. & that allergies can cause a slight green color. Very few ppl seem to be aware of this. Most ppl think any green is infection. A few yrs ago I was coughing up small amounts of green. & my dr said lungs. & bronchial tubes were clear. & put me on allergy med. & it cleared up. Has ANYONE ever heard of allergies causing green or yellow mucous without infection? Thank You

I get crusty green boogers when I wake up and always have. I've always had sinus issues. Green doesn't always mean infection. I read that recently.
