Hii am suffering from cold with greenish whitish thick excessive mucus with foul smell in mouth for more than 5 month.excessive thin sputum alltime .

See a doctor: That is too long to be a cold. You most likely have an upper respiratory infection that will need to be treated with antibiotics. Colds are usually self limiting and don't last longer than 7 to 10 days.
