Infection..: This seems to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. Most of the time it is a virus and it can last 7-10 days. However, if you are feeling sicker and lasts over that period of time then you might need antibiotics prescribed. Try to get seen by a provider and have a formal evaluation for proper prescription of indicated meds at this time.

Cough: Severe allergies may be associated with bronchial irritation and wheezing at times. It may result in coughing. Have it examined and treated appropriately.

See doctor: You could have a viral infection which had exacerbated your asthma. The difficulty in coughing up sputum may signal blockage of the airways. On the other hand, one needs to rule out pneumonia too. You need to consult your doctor promptly to get this under control.
