I would like to get some input on this.

Recently, I have had a lot of green drainage on the trach dressing. I
have never had a trach infection, but thought that that was what it was
and expected the doctor to prescribe something topical. His opinion is
that the drainage around the trach is coming from the inside because my
secretions are green on and off, and prescribed an oral antibiotic. I
thought it could possibly be the other way around. Any thoughts?
