Answer 1

The goo in the back of your throat is called post-nasal drip which just means it is the same stuff that is in your nose dripping down the back of your throat! Yuck, i know! When you cough you should spit it into a tissue. Run a humidifier, drink lots of fluids and rest and your cough should start to feel better.

Answer 2

you should go to a Doctor and let them know that you just came back from China, tell your parents to take you.  See if you have a fever.  You could have an infection or a virus.  If the flem is yellow of green(any color besides white or clear) it is a sign of infection. Do spit it out on a tissue and dispose of it , so you don't spread it.
