I keep coughing up mucus but I feel fine??

So Sunday I had a sore throat and was losing my voice. I took Mucinex and Tylenol and I was also coughing up mucus. In the morning it's yellow/green but during the day it's foamy white. I went to the doctor and she listened to my lungs and looked at my throat and said I have an upper respiratory infection. I went on Tuesday to the doctor and my voice is mostly back. I've been taking my temp and it's normal 98.4. I have no other symptoms. I'm eating fine etc. But every morning I wake up, I keep coughing up green yellow mucus. This is gross but I blew my nose and noticed the color of some of my snot was the same as the stuff I coughed up. Is there a chance this is post nasal drip from sleeping? I coughed up mucus today with a chunk in it. I always wake up with a sore throat that slowly gets better. I'm worried I have pneumonia but surely she would've heard something when listening to my lungs and my voice wouldn't be getting slowly better.

It sounds like something is irritating your sinuses and the gunge is going down your throat when you sleep.
It's difficult in the winter with little fresh air but that will help.
