Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Chest Pain

Good morning. I have had a bad cold for over a week. I ve had a lot of congestion and coughing. The congestion in my head has finally started going away but the cough is persistent. I am coughing up lots of phlegm and my chest constantly hurts. How long does it usually take to get rid of a cold?
