Hello Charli XX.
Pneumonia is an infection of the airways leading to pneumonia or an infection of the lungs. "Lung infection" is a generic term for several conditions, including pneumonia and bronchitis.
People with a chest infection almost always bring a cough, phlegm (thick mucus) from the breast. The common cold is an infection that has caused by coughing, but if infection of the nose and throat is limited, is much less likely to lead to big problems.

In the recently emerged from a lung infection. I had very bad chest, sputum (if thats the green signs of infection), persistent cough sounds wet and / or feels like phlegm, wheezing, tired, breathless. My advice to doctors to get some antibiotics, and often treated with amoxicillin, there are many people who have been diagnosed with pneumonia. Your doctor may tell you, if you have to listen to the chest! Hope you feel better soon
