Suggest Treatment For Cold And Chest Thightness

I am in Thailand, Upcountry and on the way back to my Apartment in Bangkok. I have been suffering with the cold and lower temperatures in Northern Thailand for 2/3 weeks. I have heavy greenish mucous and a tight chest without any other symtoms. I am coughing up the phlegm fairly easily. Please advise a mucolytic to help thin and aid the mucous removal. I have not taken any medicines/drugs up to now. When I get back to the warmer temperature of Bangkok, the symptoms should improve.

You are probably going through a viral infection . Steam inhalation and warm salt water gargling will provide you relief.
