Cough with ocational mucus coming up no congestion or runny nose but i have a head ache and feel like i'm burning up could this just be a cold ?

Yes: Sounds like a "cold." if it persists for >5 days see your primary care doctor and further evaluation.

Fever?: Check your temperature to see if you have a fever. If the cough just started, it can be a cold and the nasal symptoms may follow. You may also have an acute bonrchitis, either way, if it does not get better in a couple of days, see a doctor.
