What Causes Severe Coughing While Suffering From Chest Infection?

I have had a cough for about a month and a half now. More recently (last 2-3 weeks) I have noticed that it is infected (greenish mucus). Plus when I breathe out there is this crackly sound. But only when I breather out not when I inhale. It is worse at night when I lay down. Often I cough to a point where I am gagging. I do have allergies but I am not sure if this is allergies. We did just move to the Nova Scotia so maybe my allergies are worse? Any thoughts?
