Hi, turning of mucus to thick yellow secretions indicate immune reaction, it’s trapped dust, viral/ bacteria, mucus protein, wbc Should be worried if lasting for >10days, facial pain/ headache, fever, foul smell, breathing difficulties Saline nasal drops & suctioning (for infants) Hydration (to thin mucus) Steam inhalation will help to ease
