The cold that won't go away

[chyisan]

I had a cold like 3 weeks ago. The cold went away but this chest congestion is still there. I always feel like there's phlegm in my bronchi. I seems to be worse at night in bed and in the morning when I wake up. What can TCM do for this? Anyone?

Do you have both cold feelings aswell as sweating? And when you had a running nose was it clear watery like fluid or thicker phlegmy yellow stuff? If so both areas point to a Wind Heat invasion. If it came on quick Acupuncture could get rid of very quickly.
