Could i have pneumonia?

Question

Last month i had a normal common cold... then about 10 days ago i started feeling sick, nose ran a little (but thick not runny), then the cough started and ever since i have had this really bad green phlemy cough, my body aches as if i have been doing a marathon and i get chills every so often.... i dont have $ to go to the doctor right now but will make a plan if these symptoms are thought to be serious? (i have never had these kind of symptoms before i normally just get sick with a runny nose then get over it in 7 days)

any advice on how to get rid of the green stuff would be appreciated!

Answer 1

doctor is still the best way...I don't know what else to say

Answer 2

Its unlikely to be pneumonia, but more likely to be something like bronchitis - the green is from bacteria, it should go away with antibiotics - without antibiotics theres not much you can do except for sleep alot! (and even that may not get rid of it)
