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.
