I have had extremely sore throat x 5 days, days 1&2 thick green mucus coughed up in mornings, day 3 yellowish mucus coughed up, days 4&5 excessive saliva and coughing up clear fluid to point of choking. No fever at all. Hard coughing and periodic bouts of sneezing. Very sore from coughing so much. As soon as I spit, mouth immediately fills with saliva again.

Hi

Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum

You need to drink plenty of warm water, do steam inhalation 2-3 times a day, use saline nasal spray and povodone iodine throat spray. You will also require broad spectrum antibiotics and pain relievers such as ibuprofen or diclofenac.
