I have had a phlegmy cough of various shades of green for 5 weeks ,am on 2nd week of antibiotics ,amocycillin did nothing so now got clarythrimycin 2 a day and it clearing up .Yesterday i had a excessively tired day at work i am a swimming teacher ,then at 8pm last night my hands turned blue/grey , 111 sent me to my local hospital but after 5 hours of just sitting watching fights in A nd E ,i left ,and will see my GP on Monday.Today after i started steroids when i got home from my rescue pack the colour has gone back to normal .

Has anyone had this before ? this is 1st time for me.
