HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The association of the cough with mucus production implies it may be related to post nasal drip.
This is the most common cause for chronic coughing.The other common causes are asthma and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
Traditionally treatment involves the use of topical steroid nasal sprays and oral antihistamines.
Avoiding the allergen causing the reaction, if it is known, is also important.
I hope this helps
