A member asked:

Started with a sore throat, moved to a cough, now very chesty and some production. worse in the morning and night. 10 days old. just a cold? or more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly more....: 10 days is pretty long for a common cold. If your are coughing up colored phlegm or having colored nasal discharge you may have a sino-bronchial syndrome: basically, sinusitis with bronchitis. I suggest a medical examination, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
