Hi,
Dry cough, loss of voice and feeling of tightness to breathe may be features of allergic cough. But green mucus is sign of some infection. In my opinion you need a course of antibiotics along with some antiallergic for an extended period. If you get breathing difficulty, then a course of broncho-dilator may also be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
