If you have a confirmed sinus infection, the green stuff that you are coughing up is probably from the sinuses.

Any infection of the nose or sinuses can cause your throat to feel swollen and your chest to feel congested and painful.

You can try steam inhalation to loosen the green mucous stuck in your sinuses or see your doctor for a sinus washout.

Sometimes antibiotics are needed for a bacterial infection of the sinuses. With treatment you should feel within a few days.
