Now I have lot of chest congestion and while coughing it feels too heavy and mucus is not coming out easily.

If you're experiencing chest congestion, consider these precautions:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, or broths to help thin mucus and ease congestion.
Humidify the Air: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can soothe irritated airways and ease congestion.
Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to your chest may help relieve discomfort and loosen mucus.
Elevate Your Head: Sleeping with an extra pillow can help reduce postnasal drip and ease congestion while sleeping.
Avoid Irritants: Stay away from smoke and strong odors, as they can worsen respiratory symptoms.
Rest and Sleep: Allow your body to recover by getting adequate rest and quality sleep.
Over-the-Counter Medications: Consult with a healthcare professional before using over-the-counter medications like decongestants or cough suppressants, as they may not be suitable for everyone.
