Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xu Gang
Green phlegm associated with rhinitis results from inflammatory stimulation of the respiratory tract and lungs, among other causes. For instance, in cases of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* infection, patients may be treated with aminoglycoside antibiotics, along with oral medications for rhinitis, which can effectively address the issue of green phlegm production. Patients are advised to undergo timely chest radiography and complete blood count (CBC) testing.
