The thick green discharge indicates that the infection is getting worse and that there may be some bacteria invaders. I normally treat these infections with antibiotics. It's best if you can get Babu to a vet within the next day or two. The vet would be able to prescribe the necessary treatment to make her feel better and keep the infection from getting worse. You can help the congestion by giving him a steam bath. The link below has good information about how to do this and other helpful tips for this condition. http://www.wikihow.com/Help-Your-Cat-Breathe-Easier I hope this helps and Babu feels better soon.
