I've been having this issue where I'm coughing up green and yellow phlegm for the past four days. It used to be white but then turned to green and yellow. My nose feels really congested, but I don't have a fever, fatigue, or any lethargy. I went through a CECT scan of my thorax earlier and everything came back normal, no abnormalities. Usually, this starts in the early morning and lasts through the night, but it doesn't disturb my sleep. Should I be worried, or is there something specific going on that I should get checked out?

I've been dealing with a cough for about a year now, and there's also been daily congestion. The mucus is relentless, and it seems to worsen with exposure to dust, and after eating things like curds or oily foods. I'm getting concerned about what's causing this and how to manage it. Could you give me some advice or potential solutions?
