What Are The Treatments For Coughing Up Green Phlegm, Clogged Nose, Sore Throat And Losing Voice?
Hi doctor. Well the last few days I have been coughing pretty frequently and occasionally green phlegm will come up. I've had a pretty clogged up nose and it makes it hard to sleep at night. When I do get to sleep, however, i'll wake up with this snot or phlegm in my eyes. Also, the last couple days I've started to lose my voice and my throat is just a tiny bit sore. So what does this all mean? How long will it continue? And what can I do to make it go away? Thank you so much for the advice!
