Suggest Treatment For Residual Sinus Drainage And Black Phlegm

I ve just gotten over what I think is a cold because the phlegm was always clear and there was no fever. But I ve had a bit of residual sinus drainage, and now I ve just coughed up some black and yellow phlegm. I don t smoke and haven t been around smokers.
