Hello,
It could be an upper respiratory tract infection.
Do steam inhalation to open up clogged sinuses.
You can also try expectorant cough syrups to clear the mucus.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and do a sputum culture and start antibiotics according to the culture study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
