Sir there is morning running of nose and cough both from last two days. As per allergy is concerned can't say. Because there was Time of skin allergy 12 years before. But the dryness of throat is there for common cold but it is first time after nearly 10 years I am having cough
And sir as said today after cough my mucus came in thick green color
Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection as green mucus is suggestive of lung infection.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung infection, just finish course of Advent.
For throat problems, in my opinion, you should take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night before going to sleep for 2-3 months.
This will definitely help you.
