I have a cough along with congested lungs (coughing up phelgm). Occasionally I'll have a hacking cough. I've been afflicted with these two symptoms for over 3 weeks now (caught them from a friend). Does anyone know what I'm coming down with?

Nah, my phlegm isn't bloody. It's greenish.

You are simply suffering from cough and cold. To combat your disorder, eat 30 to 40 raisins daily. Honey is most beneficial in for cough and cold. Take one table-spoon honey twice a day. Inhale honey thrice a day. Cut down on your sugar intake and start with Jaggery. Keep your tooth brush away from bathroom. Inhale steam thrice a day. Avoid cold climates and air conditioners. Wear warm cloths to protect from cold. Drink hot soup and avoid ice cream, aerated cold drinks and cold water. Put small quantity of all the hot spices available in your house such as black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg etc. plus fresh ginger and 7 basil leaves to boil them in 200 ml water. Drink hot like soup thrice a day to get faster relief. Insert tooth pick into your nostrils to sneeze. After the mucus is released from the head, you will feel better. Correct your constipation. Now, press the finger tip and thumb of both the hands for 15 minutes twice a day on empty stomach to fight this sickness. Pressing finger point will certainly help. Take care and be in good health.

I have the same symptoms when I have broncihitis.
Chronic bronchitis usually starts with prolonged bouts of acute bronchitis but over time it becomes constant and the cough grows deeper
Coughing then continues all day and night but it is usually worse first thing in the morning
The cough is productive meaning that you cough up phlegm that is usually grey or white. The appearance of green or yellow phlegm usually indicates the start of a chest infection
You may be short of breath or you may wheeze
To be diagnosed with chronic bronchitis you have to have had the illness for at least 3 months of the year for 2 consecutive years
You are at risk of developing pneumonia if you suffer from chronic bronchitis

Oh man go to see a doctor. What's the colour of your phelgm? any chest pain? your infos aren't concluded, hard to tell you your problem.
