What Causes Chest Congestion After An Episode Of Cold?
I have had a cold for over a week, I feel better, but hear congestion in my chest when I laugh. Just concerned as my colds normally do not travel outside if my head. My coughing has actually decreased substantially. Not sure why this residual congestion exists.

please do some deep breathing exercises with steam inhalation
i am sure you will be alright very soon
