What Causes Cough, Runny Nose And Upper Chest Pain?

Hello, I am having a cough and runny nose. the phlegm I cough up is green and the mucus is green too. I usually have large amounts of this in the morning. At times I can feel the mucus draining from somewhere behind my nose down my throat. The green mucus is usually lumpy in the morning and gets lighter as the day progresses. I also have a mild or imaginary pain in my upper chest. At night, I feel very hot and sweaty. I am currently using colcap capsules. Any idea what it could be?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough, runny nose and upper chest pain which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get complete examination done. You should get X-ray chest done along with allergy test to find out exact cause and start treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial along with mucolytic agent and nasal decongestants. Avoid intake of outside food and cold carbonated beverages. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
