I’m 26 days out of gastric sleeve surgery today I started to cough up green mucus and my voice sound bad what to do

I’m calling the doctor at 10 when they get in to see if I can come in

Yes you need that checked urgently. Keep us updated

I will thanks

If you can't see doctor head to emergent care. Sounds like you are starting to get a bad cold.

Is it respiratory mucus or stomach mucus? Makes a huge difference. If it is respiratory, you may need to start taking mucus relief medication, you can check with your doc to see what you are allowed to take. I have no problem with most medications. All the respiratory crud is going around bad where I live. My family is fighting it this week too. Did you get your flu shot this year?

If it is stomach mucus... then definitely check with your doc.

Yes I’m getting ready to go in a little I was just upset didn’t want to it to with surgery cause I been in the hospital already two times for dehydrated

Sounds like at a minimum you need mucus relief medication. Maybe antibiotics. Mucus changes color as you progress through stages of respiratory infections... sometimes you need the antibiotics, sometimes you don't. If you have a fever it could be a form of influenza. Getting checked by a doc is always a good idea.

A cold is one thing, but the green mucus is a symptom for something else.

I would, as a stranger, on the other side of the planet, be far more at ease if this person was examinated by a trained medical professional - at least in this case.

Pls let us know Ronica!

Emergent care is normally staffed by physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Last time I checked these are medical professionals. They can perform any test a doctor can and also prescribe medication. I made that suggestion over an ER as they are much less expensive.
