Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough

I recently had a broncoscopy and a large amount of milky, pudding-like fluid was removed from my airways. I have had an ongoing cough for 18 months. I ve been tested for molds, TB, Valley Fever, cancer, all negative. I have never experienced any GERD issues. Any ideas re what that fluid is or what may be causing my lungs to keep producing it? Thanks. Susan M.
