1. Nasal infection

Nasal infections are the most common cause of yellow nasal discharge. Infections are usually caused by viruses or bacteria, triggering an inflammatory response that causes the glands to secrete large amounts of mucus, which gradually thickens and yellows. Nasal infections are also usually accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, etc.

In most cases, nasal infections can be relieved by drinking plenty of fluids and resting. If symptoms persist for too long, antibiotics may be needed to eliminate the bacterial infection.

2. If the discharge is clear at the beginning, and then turns yellow, accompanied by a decrease in the amount of nasal discharge and a dry nasal passage, it indicates that the cold is gradually improving; If the amount of nasal discharge does not decrease and the yellow discharge becomes thicker, it means that the cold is getting worse.
