Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cough, chest pain, green phlegm etc are more suggestive of pneumonia (lung infection).
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray.
You may need higher antibiotics, mucolytic and expectorant drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
