I have been coughing up clear jelly phlegm balls. not quite sure what the cause of it is?

Mgt: This may represent a bronchial cast which is formed in the setting of inflammation of the lung. I would suggest saving a sample to discuss with your PCP. If you have recently been ill, you may need medications including antibiotics, inhaled steroids.
