Hi Doctor, I am suffering from cold and coughing for few days and green or sometimes clear phlegm release from my nose and mouth. Also when I cough I get a pressure on my back and chest. I also has burning sensation in upper part of back. Is it due to phlegm? I also do cbc best few days ago and it is normal.

You can't cure colds or the flu, but you can relieve the cough and sore throat that sometimes come with them. Use cough drops or hard candy. Menthol and certain herbal cough drops can slightly numb and soothe your sore throat. But sucking on plain hard candy may work just as well.
