My mother seems to have a lot of green mucus. I don't think it is all from infections and recall reading an article that said acetylcysteine can cause green mucus. She uses it as part of her treatment protocol. Anyone know of that occurring? Thanks.

I use that all the time and it never turns my mucus green. I can usually taste when I have an infection. have you asked her if the mucus has a taste or if she's getting taste or smell that is unpleasant? for me it can sometimes smell like cigarette smoke and the taste I really can't describe it's just not pleasant.

Thanks. She has commented on the smell and has on occasion mentioned the taste. My dad mentioned he had read something on the drug turning mucus green. I am wondering if, in combination with an infection and her pulmonary fibrosis treatment, that it might make it greener.
