What Causes Chronic Cough And Green Phlegm?

I have a horrible cough with very thick sputum(green in color) and I smell bleach after coughing almost every time. I get chills a lot, and I’m sure I’ve had fevers. Lots of sinus pain and pressure as well. Can hear wheezing and cracking sounds when I cough. Any idea if this could be pneumonia again? I had it a few years ago and it took 6 months for doctors to find it

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You may be suffering from acute bronchitis or pneumonitis. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid cool drinks, freeze water, smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.

Use syrup Ascoryl 2tsp thrice a day for five days. There's is a need for to start antibiotics depending upon your severity of the disease.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
