Cough: you could have any of a long list of viruses. The fact that phlegm is green doesn't necessarily mean that you have a bacterial infection which needs an antibiotic. If it is a bacterial infection, you may be on the wrong antibiotic. A recheck with your PCP or a HealthTap prime consult should help narrow down the cause and proper treatment.
