Cough for 9 weeks yucky nose for 5 weeks

I had a really bad deep cough that started mid-November, did not go to the doctor as I thought I could fight it off.  By mid-December it lightened up or actually went to more of a wet cough at which time I thought it was working it's way out.  About two weeks ago i still had slight cough and then my nose started to run and now I have yucky green mucus in my nose and when I talk a lot (especially at work) the cough comes back to haunt me.  Through all of this I have not gone into the doctor, just because I haven't taken the time.  Wondering if at this point I should go in (could it be walking pneumonia or bronchitis)?

Sounds like you have an infection.  Usually the green mucus means some type of bacteria.  I would go to get an antibiotic.  I'm sure the doctor will give you one.  

However, that being said it could also be a virus.  In that case, the antibiotics don't work.  Do you have a temperature?
