What causes chest congestion after an episode of cold?
Patient: I have had a cold for over a week, I feel better, but hear congestion in my chest when I laugh. Just concerned as my colds normally do not travel outside if my head. My coughing has actually decreased substantially. Not sure why this residual congestion exists. Doctor: Hi i appreciate your concern glands and mucosal lining of tracheobronchial tree remains hypersensitive to any stimuli following a attack of coldso you need not to worry please do some deep breathing exercises with steam inhalation i am sure you will be alright very soongood lucktake care
