Hi,

Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX

Yes you should see a doctor. That yellowish secretion when you cough could mean bacterial infection. After a physical examination your doctor may order investigations which may include complete blood count, X XXXXXXX chest, etc. Depending on the examination findings he may start antibiotics etc.

Your symptoms are suggestive of respiratory infection. Please see your doctor at the earliest possible.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
