    Chest congestion with no other symptoms?

    I've been in Hong Kong for over a month, and it's very hot and humid.

    In the last day or two, I seem to have developed green phlegm on my lungs, but not much, and with no other issues.

    No blocked nose, sore throat, sneezing, cough or so much as a sniffle.

    So is it something else? Dust?

    Not sure about the cause or solution in tropical climes.

    Sounds like a chest infection to me.

    Will keep an eye on it then, and go to the Dr if it doesn't improve.

    Thanks

    Post nasal drip?

    Nope. Nothing else at all. The occasional cough, which sometimes is bringing up green, but very little.

    All very odd.

    Saw the Dr, and he said it was the change in air quality.

    He suggested Ventolin, which we went and got.

    Fingers crossed, that'll keep it in check, and it will clear up when we go home tomorrow.

    He said there was no cause for concern as there was no fever etc.

    I hope he's right!!
