I have COVID and I have thick secretions?

28-year-old woman2 years ago

I tested positive for COVID, I am much better, I still have the congestion and cough. My secretion was clear but I noticed today that at times it was thick and green. I do sinus rinses several times a day

Hello, thank you for your question!

It is not abnormal, especially if you feel that your condition is improving (even a little), every day. The mucus can change in appearance. For example, for some people it is darker in the morning.

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
