Hi, my name is jaymin. I live in Bloomfield NJ. I feel i m loosing my voice. This all started two days ago when i was on my way to PA with my sister to visit a college, she kept coughing in the car and i guess i got whatever it was she got because my throat started feeling weird. I have a dry cough but if i cough hard enough (very painful) i get little bits of green mucus to come out. Do you believe this is just chest congestion or something els? Right now my chest feels tight and even if i cough it won t help me with my voice. Should i go see my doctor and talk to her about it?
Yes, green mucus is indication of bacterial infection and may be you have pneumonia, you should talk to your doctors and get your sputum analysis done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
