I've been dealing with a severe congested nose and a persistent cough for about a week now, and even though I'm on medicine for the cough, there's no fever. My nose is completely blocked, I have sinus pain, and I'm experiencing a head cold as well. But what really worries me is this new bubble-like sound I hear when I breathe out, especially if I'm lying down.

yes the sound is because of nasal congestion , just take steam inhalation
