During your cough and cold you had viral infection of the nose and sinuses. Most of us will develop a bacterial infection of the sinuses also for a few days after the cold and that produces green mucus. As it comes only from your right nose; only your right side sinuses are having bacerial sinusutis. It will get cleared in 5 days time. Take steam inhalation through the nose. Take plenty of water to make the mucus liquds so that it can be easily sneezed or blown out from the nose. Do not some. Take antibiotica only if the quantity of mucus doesnot reduce in two days time. Most often this has got only nuisance value. Relax. Do some running exercise as it clears the nose during running. If not back to normal in 15 days then only you need see a doctor. (Provided you are otherwise healthy.)
