YOur cough might be due to the infection in the throat or lower respiratory tract which causes bouts of cough. the greenish mucosa usually indicate an allergic reaction so check for asthma or cough variant asthma, pain in chest is may be due to long bouts of cough and are not significant if occurring after cough, Treatment of cough will help you, an antiallergic tablet, inhalers with locally acting steroids and broncho dialators will certainly help. Do visit your family physician before starting medication to rule out any other problems
