Possibilities....: The possible etiologies for a chronic cough productive of mucous includes bronchospasm from any etiology, post-nasal drip, gerd or a combination of factors. You need to see your doctor so your cough can be diagnosed and then treated. You may need additional testing to diagnose this cough but there are effective therapies so see your doctor. If you smoke, you need to quit asap!
