I have left shoulder tip pain which is worse when i cough, a headache for three days and coughing up thick green phlegm every day for months now. ?

Culture of sputum: Chronic cough and green sputum require a sputum sample for culture and chest XRay. Chronic cough is associated with headache and musculoskeletal pain. You do need to go to the clinic.
