Cough: If you had a heavy cough with discolored sputum which has now improved and the mucus is colorless at this time, you probably have some residual noninfectious irritation in the trachea(windpipe). This is best treated with a cough suppressant syrup like robitussinDM to sooth the irritated trachea as the more you cough, the more it's irritated. See your physician as needed.
