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. Is this strange noise a typical side effect of having a congested nose and sinus issues? Ive always managed to get over colds and coughs pretty quickly before, so this is new for me. Is it something I should be really concerned about?

I've been dealing with a bad cold I caught about three weeks ago. It seems like the main infection cleared up, but I'm still experiencing this choking sensation in my throat, although it happens off and on. I can feel some phlegm sitting there, but swallowing isn't an issue. My breathing is fine too, and I only really cough to try and clear my throat. Should I be worried about this lingering issue, or is it normal after a cold?

Its common to experience lingering throat discomfort or mucus production after a cold, and it sounds like youre on the road to recovery. Keep practicing hydration, using a humidifier, and potentially using saline sprays to help clear your sinuses. If the symptoms persist or become bothersome, a follow-up with your healthcare provider might be necessary to make sure theres no underlying issue, like post-viral inflammation or infection.
