Green is bad go to a doctor asap this can turn into pneumonia.
You have classic signs of Bronchitis that left untreated can be bad.


A cough that brings up yellowish-gray or green mucus (sputum) is one of the main signs of bronchitis. Mucus itself isn't abnormal — your airways produce at least an ounce of normal secretions every day. But these secretions usually don't accumulate, because they're continuously cleared into your throat and swallowed with your saliva. When the main air passageways in your lungs (bronchial tubes) are inflamed, however, they often produce large amounts of discolored mucus that comes up when you cough. Mucus that isn't white or clear usually means there's a secondary infection.

Still, these signs can be deceptive. You don't always produce sputum when you have bronchitis, and children often swallow coughed-up material, so parents may not know there's a secondary infection.

Bronchitis may be accompanied by common signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, including:

Soreness and a feeling of constriction or burning in your chest
Sore throat
Congestion
Breathlessness
Wheezing
Slight fever and chills
Overall malaise
Sometimes chronic sinusitis — an ongoing infection in the lining of one or more of the cavities in the bone around your nose — can mimic bronchitis. That's because the signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis include a thick, yellow or green postnasal discharge and a chronic cough that's triggered when you try to clear your throat of mucus draining from your sinuses

Sounds like you either have a cold or bronchitis. You should check with your doctor because you need to know for sure. If it is bronchitis, the doctor can prescribe an antibiotic to clear it up. If it's a cold, you can take an over the counter medicine to alleviate the symptoms until it clears up.

Sounds like a chest cold. Use Vick's Vapo rub and drink plenty of fluids.

It sounds like you may have bronchitis, if that is the case you may need antibiotics. I would go to the doctor ASAP, if it goes untreated you can have more serious respiratory issues. Hope you feel better.
