What Is The Cause For Congested Nose With A Slight Cough Which Is Yellow In Color?
I have a congested nose with a slight cough (sometime coughing phlegm) which is yellow in colour - the same colour as the snot in my nose. I feel fine generally though. This has lasted since Friday (so this is now the 5th day). Is there anything for me to worry about, do i need to see a doctor for antibiotics?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having congestion of nose with cough.
This indicates upper respiratory tract infection.
Since you are coughing yellow color phlegm, this indicates bacterial infection resulting in purulent discharge.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs along with anti cold drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
