please help

I am 15 years old and have a cold, I caught the cold of my brother and now I am worried because my symptoms differ greatly from his. I have a very sore throat, I wake up in the morning feeling very dizzy and i am coughing up very dark, thick green phlegm is this normal?

A good answer would be very helpful
God bless

If you're coughing up green phlegm, it means an infection - not just a simple cold.  You need to see your doctor and get on an antibiotic.  The dizziness could be a result of an ear infection or even a sinus infection.

I hope you feel better soon!
