My son has been coughing for a week, he blows his nose a lot, how do I clear his secretions?

My 6 year old boy has been coughing for over a week, temperature a little higher than normal. He is full of secretions, and he spits and flies green... Is there any way to get him off the secretions? Does the fact that the secretions are colored mean that he is a doctor?

Good morning, Mrs,
Are your child's secretions green, especially in the morning, or all day? Has he had a fever for 72 hours or more?
What have you tried so far for his symptoms?
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your feedback.
Especially in the morning yes.
It has been standing in the 98 for 3 days; but it works very well.
hydrasense several times a day and advil morning/evening

Thanks for the feedback.
A temperature of 98 F does not constitute a fever, I want to reassure you of that. I am also reassured to read that his general condition is good. To that end, if he is not complaining of pain, the Advil can be left out.
You did well with the Hydrasense, I encourage you to use it as often as necessary during the day, there is no maximum number of times! I also encourage you to encourage him to drink lots of fluids, cold or hot.
Secretions may appear thicker and darker in the morning, but this does not necessarily indicate a problem. Just keep an eye on his general condition.
If the situation persists without improvement for 7 days or gets worse, or if he is unable to eat/drink, I suggest you see a doctor.
I hope I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions
