Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis.
It is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
So your nasal congestion is due to viral URTI and Chest congestion, breathing difficulty, green sputum etc are mostly due to bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT(Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Antibiotic and antihistamine drugs are also helpful.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
