Some causes: A "wet" cough usually implies that mucus is involved at the level of the voicebox.  The answer can be classified according to where the mucus is originating from (could be lungs, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, larynx, nose, sinuses, or even reaction to acid from the digestive tract if acid reflux is involved).  Could certainly be infectious, but could also be allergic.  Less likely to be cancer.
