Question 1

eat jelly can cause cough. is that true? i'm not allergic to jelly.

Accepted Answer

Jelly normally safe: It is certainly not a scientific fact that eating jelly leads to cough. Actually, there is no link between jelly and coughing.  If you find yourself always coughing after eating jelly I'd be curious if there is in fact something in the ingredients that you are allergic to - if you are wheezing or coughing you should be evaluated and determine if you have an allergy and should be avoiding a food.

Question 2

i've had a cough for around 7 weeks now, i sometimes cough little clear jelly like balls up.
what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Mgt: Chronic inflammation of the airways may be one cause. The material can be sent for testing.

Question 3

what will make u cough up clear jelly like stuff?

Accepted Answer

Bronchitis: Probably viral. Drink plenty of fluids, rest, take acetominophen or ibuprofen. You can get OTC cough medicine with expectorant. Time will heal. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 4

have productive cough with jelly like phelym more so in the morning but could happen another 2times. is this serious?has been happening months

Accepted Answer

Chronic cough: Usually a cough with scant blood or "hemoptysis" is indicative of an upper or lower respiratory tract infection and supportive care is best.  Given the chronicity (2 months) of symptoms you need an in person evaluation with your doctor and possibly a chest xray to get a better idea of what is going on :)

Question 5

i have same like a thread jelly phlegm.everytime i strted to cough it will continue onward for how many days or weeks.like a slimy sticky thread like?

Accepted Answer

Sticky phlegm : Try irrigating your nose with 60 cc if saline to each side 4 -5 x a day. The saline is made by adding 1-2 tsp of salt to one quart of water with a pinch of baking soda.  You can keep the mixture in the fridge and the cold will be soothing.  It can be tap water if you have good water.  Otherwise use bottled or boil the water.  Ensure that the water is room temperature before putting jt in the nose.

Question 6

i am getting over a cold, i have a lingering cough that has been accompanied by coughing up mucus, clear sometimes round jelly like balls. am i ok?

Accepted Answer

Likely OK: It is not uncommon to have a lingering cough after an upper respiratory infection that can last up to a month. As long as the mucus is mot often clear and your not feeling feverish or with chills or significant chest pain, there's little to worry about.

Question 7

squishy jelly movable things on both sides of trachea tight feeling. over a year and cough worse when laying down. had larynscope and seen drs cancer?

Accepted Answer

Communication: Are you feeling your own thyroid gland on either side of your trachea? Have you got an idiopathic goiter that's giving you the tight feeling and cough? Needs to be addressed. I'd urge your physicians, if they're really stumped, to consider an ultrasound and imaging of how things move.

Question 8

every so often i cough up somethimg from my lung its a small jelly blob clear.the size of a pea. what r they? it just comes flying out in in 1 cough

Accepted Answer

Mucous: most likely.
BUT worth having evaluation.
Smoker?
Environmental issues? Animals, asbestos, dust mold etc.
If prior pneumonia or lung issues, then bronchiectasis is possible.
There are also some lung inflammations that cause more sputum

Question 9

muscles feel like jelly, anxious feeling on/off since wednesday, hard cough and dusty feeling in lungs when i inhale..

Accepted Answer

Cough: You complain of dusty feeling in lungs when you cough. The best air filters we have are called HEPA filters. They filter the air to 99.97% purity. Get one of those and hopefully you will sleep better.

Question 10

i don't have cough or cold but from past 2yrs when i eat spicy food i coughout jelly like phlegm i quit smoking 4yrs back.

Accepted Answer

Spicy food: Spicyfood could cause more gastric reflux. You might be coughing out from that. I would suggest you to avoid spicy foods. If no relief you need to see a physician.
