Thank you Coach Virginia, the knowledge you show in your comments never ceases to amaze me. I appreciate your time and wisdom so much. That makes sense that dark mucous would indicate it was sticking around in the body for awhile. I double checked with my friend, and the orange gunk was definitely coming from her nose and not her lungs.
She tried a lot of saline solution this morning and got a bunch of it out, but then it kept on coming and her face was really uncomfortable, so since the weekend is coming up she did decide to see her doctor for some antibiotics. She was, as she suspected, diagnosed with a sinus infection and given a prescription. The PA who saw her also suggested a Neti Pot, which she was already considering buying. But that could be a whole other post, I have heard so much about that product! I emailed her tonight and she's already feeling better after just one dose of the antibiotics and her face and teeth no longer hurt.
