Could be allergies: Depending on any other symptoms, could be allergies. You might try over-the-counter Flonase and/or Zyrtec (cetirizine). If it does not improve, you should be evaluated by a physician.

What causes wet and dry cough, thick mucus production (both clear and green), slight tightness in lungs, and fatigue? Have had these symptoms for about 5 weeks. Started off as URI, but some symptoms are still lingering?

For two days now I cough up small amounts of thick, clear mucus. I feel like it comes from my lungs but could be from throat. No other symptoms.

Cough for almost 2 months now. saw 2 doctors for it about month ago - told lungs sound clear. had a chest xray & CT scan of chest (~2 wks ago)- came back clear w/ "perfect lungs". cough dry w/ very little clear mucus. taking mucinex DM - helps.
