My 4 yr old son has had gross green snot for over 4 weeks. I would think that it was a sinus infection but he has never had a fever and doesn't have any other symptoms--no headaches, no sore throat etc. Just really green snot. I really don't want to put him on antibiotics because I think that if he had an bacterial infection he would have a fever. Has any one else expierenced this or have a good home remedy for getting rid of the green snot. Thanks
I have had sinus infections for 30 years and never a fever. The color green tells me that it is a sinus infection. I never let it go beyond yellow anymore.
I have had many sinus infections and never once have had a fever with any of them. Does he ever complain that his teeth hurt? Mine will hurt sometimes and I also get headaches.
When my son was little he stop running a fever when he had an infection. I would at least call the Dr. and see what they have to say.

My doc told us to watch for green snot as it is a sign of bacterial infection. It wouldn't hurt to call and ask your nurse. Good luck. Amy
Hi Jennifer, went through the same thing and it turned out to be environmental allergies. Green is not always a sign of infection. My daughter didn't have specific allergies towards anything. Good luck.
Hello, I just took my son into the doc last week and the doctor noticed his snot which was think and yellow and put him on antiboitic for a sinus infection. I was shocked becasue he had no fever, no cough,
You could try Neil-Med nasal rinses twice a day. You can get the kit at any Wal-Greens or in the National Jewish Hospital gift shop, which is actually cheaper. It does sound like a sinus infection, though. I never run a fever when I have one. The sinus rinse may relieve it a bit, possibly enough for the body to clear it up, but it's better as a preventative. You don't want an infection to go too long as it can become chronic. I have gotten rid of my chronic infections using this rinse.
