I had the flu two weeks ago... and i lived through it, and the baby's fine. but now i have this chest cold, and at first it wasn't so bad. but, now i'm finding it difficult to breath. I am weezing when i inhale and coughing up the stuff. It was dark green this morning, but after coughing it up three times, it turned yellow, and now it's just pale yellow... almost clear. As far as I know, i dont have a fever or anything like that... just this congestion in my chest. oh, my nose has thick stuff too, but it's not draining.

I have been drinking mint tea and sucking on cough drops that help loosen it up. I blow my nose so that it doesn't build up and go to my chest, and i am drinking a lot of water and juices with high vitamin C. Is there anything else that I can take that isn't medication that could help me loosen some of this up and at least help me breathe better???

I would also like to say thanks so much for helping me... I always come here to post questions and the advice and guidence is so helpful!
