Discolored Discharge
Usual discharge in your sinus should be clear. Thus, dark or cloudy mucus can be indicative of sinusitis. This condition occurs when your sinus is attacked by a bacterial infection. The inflammation caused by these invaders can trigger the snot to produce discolored discharge. In some cases, the mucus can also be thicker and harder to blow out. This can be a good way to differentiate a common cold with sinusitis. Consult your doctor to get the right antibiotics to fight against bacteria. Some common options include azithromycin, cefdinir, augmentin, or amoxicillin. [3]
