I have had a cough for 2 weeks now and it seems to be getting worse. It feels as if I have chest congestion. I have no fever or aches. And when k cough it s not productive. My nose is not stuffed but I am able to get some mucus out. It s color is clear. However a few days back I had a thick dark army green color come out.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe cough with chest congestion which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry much. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages. You should take cough expectorants as well. You should use mist humidifiers in room. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest done. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to check exact level of infection. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should take an opinion of an ENT Surgeon to see for the ENT causes like allergy, post-nasal drip and so on and a CT scan.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
