Suggest Treatment For Coughing Up Mucus

I have been sick for 2 weeks with the start of a sinus infection then it went into my chest. I have had a cough for over a week now with coughing up mucus (sometimes brown). I feel like I have a tickle in my left lung. Should I be concern? I am on antibiotic (finishing it in a day) and had a chest X-ray which was normal.
