Brief Answer:
Looks like infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Looks like infection with oral ulcer and chest mucus formation.

Few things that can help are warm salt water gargle, alternating antiseptic oral gargles, oral antibiotics, steam inhalation, oral antihistaminics, expectorant cough syrup.

Along with this drink lots of water, sleep more, have hot soups and non spicy diet.Avoid extreme climates, dust and addictions(if any).

Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards
