What Does Coughing Up Of Green Phlegm Indicate?

I have hold a cold for more than a week. When I wake up I blow my nose, but still continue to drain green chucks of mucus in the back of my throat until It runs clear. I also cough up green mucus once in the morning. The back of my throat is very dry during the day. Should I be doing something to clear this up?

Hello,

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
